First off: Thank you everyone for comments on this skirt construction- I'm so happy to hear that some of my excitement rubbed off :)) The skirt has been done for a while but taking pictures is truly a chore isn't it! I dread it and put it off until guilt starts eating at me.
A huge Thank You is in order to both Lisa Laree and Mary Beth for giving me a blog award. It is so greatly appreciated and I'll do my best to deserve it.
Then a clarification: The picture in the previous post shows the inside of the skirt insertion. The reason it looks black is due to the seam allowance that has been pressed onto the insertion, the black fabric lays over the pink.
Okay, here comes the pictures! I'm in the process of dreaming up the blouse to go with this skirt (a slight change of plans from the original inspiration blouse) so disregard the all-black combo I'm wearing. Notice the one-pink lace :)) I'm in that kind of mood.
And can you say VOGUE!!!... LOL
Some more construction photos...
Okay, time to write the review. That too has been done a while back :)) I usually write while I'm sewing. Do any of you do that?

You look great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice job sewing the skirt.
Your skirt is wonderful. Great job and thanks for all constructions information.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME job - I am glad you put this on PR too, so more people can see it! Love those shoes, too!
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is a work of art. And love those shoes. I had to do a double take when I saw the flash of pink in the lower photos. I can't wait to see the blouse.
ReplyDeleteAmazing is one word that comes to mind. This is just spectacular, Birgitte! Strange, I commented here earlier today, but it's not showing up.
ReplyDeleteC'est magnifique! I love the timeless style of this skirt. A+ on accessories. You've knocked my socks off once again.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great skirt! I am so impressed that you did the contrast strips as insertions instead of applying them to the top of the fabric. Wonderful couture level work!
ReplyDeleteThat is a killer skirt! Love! Love!
ReplyDeleteLove your skirt. Awesome job & great review. I read your review on PR. Thanks for the great detail.
ReplyDeleteIt really is beautiful and well made. Now, do you like it? Is it comfortable? Do you find that it fits your lifestyle and you have occasion to wear it? Even if you answered no to any or all of the above, you would have to keep it just for beauty/art's sake! but, I'm betting you will have all yes's
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the one pink shoe lace...:)
ReplyDeleteThis is simply one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly at a loss for words ~ it's such a gorgeous work of art! Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteWell done , Very chic!! Thankyou for answereing my querie. I ewill be interested to see what you do with the blouse . It will look pretty spectacular with the jacket . Are you going understated or having 3 exceptional garments going with each other?? This would be a great basis for a very dressy story of garments . I can see a pale pink jacket and a corset style top to wear under it with that skirt . Its certainly very sexy in a very stylish way.
