Jessica's Skirt

You may remember (or not) the this skirt. It was Jessica's desire that I make her a copy of one of her favorite skirts from Ann Taylor. Silly me, I still haven't photographed her in the original inspiration. Nor have I finished my first attempt.... Finally though, I have made her skirt. I used some cotton lawn by Alexander Henry. It feels lovely and she looks so cute in it!




I love the pocket detail.

Full Skirt Attempt Two

I finished this a couple of weeks ago..... Where oh where does time go?
Jessica has a favorite skirt she bought from ATL  a few years ago that she wants more of. This was my second try and I think I got it. Now I just need to make hers. When I do I'll show more detail and my first attempt. We took these photos last night, the tired, goofy factor was pretty high. I could blame it on the smoke in the air... There are a lot of fires here right now and this is not a cloud haze it is a smoke haze.
Back to the skirt, it has a 4 inch drop waist and a side zip, which I like because it makes a smooth waistline.
It's made with a cotton lawn and lined with a white batiste. 
It has pockets, you could leave out the pockets but I love pockets. 
 It has just enough gathering to make it comfy and flirty. You can dress it up with a blouse or go more casual with a T or tanks.
Found the perfect pair of sandals at Target to go with it.
Jess, I promise I will get yours done soon!!
