It's exactly like a RTW skirt I saw on someone's blog recently and have been coveting. This is such a great skirt - it's like Tilly and the Buttons Miette combined with Colette's Beignet (both of which I have).StarryAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435988869995599607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-46504229467034465952014-10-20T10:17:59.506+13:002014-10-20T10:17:59.506+13:00Love the skirt!

Showing photos from all angles helps to show off all your hard work, and also helps potential customers visualize the pattern on their own bodies.

Having not seen the pattern, I'm no...Hi Andrea! Having not seen the pattern, I'm not really in a position to tell you the differences between the two, I am however, more than happy to tell you a bit more about my pattern and the construction.<br /><br />Firstly, mine isn't based off a vintage pattern. The base is a simple semi-circle skirt that I've drafted to fit into the confines of the measurements I have set for my patterns.<br /><br />Both versions of Cressida have inseam pockets. In order to ensure the pockets don't gape when worn, the curve on the waist bands are quite large, this ensures the skirt hangs a bit more dramatically than a waistband with perhaps a smaller curve, and helps to keep the pockets closed.<br /><br />My button plackets are separate pattern pieces that are interfaced and then stitched down to the front lap of the skirt. It is then top-stitched to secure down.<br /><br />The waistband pieces are separate and stitched together. They are then stitched onto the skirt and finished by top stitching. There is a narrow 3cm (1inch) hem allowanced on the skirt.<br /><br />If you wanted belt tabs on View 1, you can transfer the notches marking where they sit from View 2's waistband pattern (the belt tabs are stitched to the waist band before the waistband is constructed).<br /><br />I'm not sure if that helps but it hopefully gives you a broad view of the pattern. If you have any specific questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them for you.<br /><br />xxJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384277110904485746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921233768935126478.post-17148235907532436192014-10-17T09:31:53.750+13:002014-10-17T09:31:53.750+13:00Perfect!
