A mid-length summer skirt
I had a vintage 1970's Daniel Hechter pattern (Butterick 4847) for a full-ish wrap skirt, and found this 15-year-old stripe home dec fabric in my mom's collection that seemed to work with it!
It reminded me of the Shifting Buttons skirt from Anthropologie last spring or summer:
Anyway, I had fun making it--I've never done a wrap skirt before! I didn't read the instructions but it was pretty simple. Made a buttonhole for the tie to go through on the right.
It goes quite well with these super cute wedges I just ordered from JCPenney online (paid $21 after coupons, sweeet):
See?
Hope you are getting weather anywhere near as nice as what we have here this weekend!! It is gorgeous, warm, and sunny. I pulled out the shorts for the first time!
This skirt would be fun to wear around a farmer's market or something. I can't quite decide what tops to wear with it... any suggestions? Preppy, boho, or...?
What an adorable skirt! Could you post a link or a picture to the pattern? And I love those wedges!

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNow there's a pic of the pattern I used.
Really cute skirt and I love the wedges with it-- so 70's!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so cute! Nice job! I love a comfortable skirt or dress on a real hot summer day. Got an A-line dress pattern from the '60s somewhere? I used to love those dresses.
ReplyDeleteI love the shoes! Are they comfy?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great on you. Especially with those sandals.
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is great! I am in full-swing skirt mode. It is 100 degrees here everyday now.
ReplyDeleteI love wrap skirts and that is great fabric. I would wear something closefitting and sleeveless - pretty low key and basic to keep the focus on the skirt and wedges.
