Style analysis: midi skirt with shaped waistband, no darts, square peplum that gives this asymmetrical piece a flowy, handkerchief hemline.
Fabric: lightweight and slightly sheer, adding to its delicate and ethereal look. Any lightweight fabric works - we would recommend especially crepe or satin with a little stretch for comfort.
Draft the pattern of a basic skirt - if you're new to our method, you can try our free pre-course to create a basic skirt pattern on your own measurements, then you can follow this tutorial to turn the basic pattern into this style!
Trace back and front separate, then on both pieces draw a parallel 5cm below waistline.
Cut through the lines to separate skirt and waistband pieces. Tape darts closed on waistbands.
Adjust length to where the peplum seam should be (we suggest 5 to 10cm above knee). Taper 2cm at hemline and redraw side seams to hipline.
Notice how waistband shape changed by closing darts.
Now discard the remaining part of darts from side seams.
Measure hemline on back (labeled as A) and on front (B).
