I've been meaning to try out some new skirt designs for a long time. Other things have come up, and I've never had the time or headspace. But a customer is keen for a skirt for her daughter so I had the perfect opportunity last night to play around with a new design.
This skirt is dropwaisted with a gathered lower tier so it's nice and full.
I lined it with plain orange cotton so that the bottom edge is bubbled instead of hemmed.
I really like bubble hems, so I'm thinking about extending the pattern into a dropwaisted winter dress. What do you think, is it a Go? Maia was quite taken with it, so I already have one vote for 'Yes'...

love the skirt! not sure how it would work on a dress - i really like the free, flouncy hem of the shirt over the shaped waist of the bubble.
