Reviews

GOOD:
  • Very nice combination with the Chanel-Style French jacket.
  • Great shape and ideal to wear without movement restrictions.
  • Beautiful waist, hour-glass shape total.
  • ++ Once you understand the altered pattern; you will be able to create modern variations !
  • A perfect travel-item; use wrinkle-free easy maintenance fabrics ! Merino wool, Terlenka, Tencell and Rayon.

NOT SO GOOD:

  • The skirt looks a bit old-fashioned because of the shape and length. Make sure to change it in your desired length. It will make the skirt look fabulous instead of out-dated.
Advanced Options:
Changing/alteration of the sewing pattern, Butterick Basic Skirt, into a faux-wrap Couture Chanel-Style Skirt mentioned in Claire Schaefferś book: Couture Sewing: The Couture Skirt
