Sewing Rating: EASY
Copyright 1989
I was brave this week and made my first Vogue. I used a polyester interlock (I think - it was an unlabelled remnant). The pattern went together easily once I got my head around the pleats - took me several attempts to interpret the instructions correctly. The rest was easy.
Mary wears it well. I will be dismantling the skirt soon. The fabric was good for a muslin but does not have enough body to actually wear in public and a solid dark colour would be much better.
Notes:
- I'm glad I tested this pattern before committing expensive fabric to it
- Fabric choice is crucial
- Easy pattern to adjust sizing - only one place the back seam!
- This is a wrap skirt with the wrap over the centre front
- The back of the skirt is plain - hence the preference for a dark fabric with some body
- Very quick to make once you get the pleats folded right
- Pockets are useful

| The roughly completed skirt - this one is definitely a muslin/trial and will not be worn |
