🖤Who doesn’t feel fabulous in a pencil skirt!!🖤Truly, such a skirt design is a timeless bit of fashion to feel fabulous in!! And here I share my most recent adventure in pattern interpretation with the DKNY dress pattern that I featured a while back. Whenever I wore that dress I couldn’t help but seeing a slim skirt version of this design. That drape effect at the curvy part of the torso which further worked with and emphasized a curved shaping at the waist and hips called out for a bit if experimentation! And here is the result!🖤
Admittedly, I don’t wear very much colour - mainly black, navy blue and indigo. The closest I come to wearing colour on my body is with my tartans, paisleys, tweed, and denim works.
That’s not to say I’m a dark personality - I really am full of colour inside…😀, hence the touch of bright red details in silk inside this very recent work. Truly, I am actually surrounded by colour, with yellow and orange being my favourite colours! 🧡💛
As you all know by now, I love beautiful stitches, and beautifully thought-out intricate details in a garment, and so I find ways to incorporate such fine detail inside my work.
And who doesn’t love the feel of silk against the skin…so I always get pleasure in knowing I have my favourite colours “strewn” about inside many of my fashion pieces.
The fabric used for this skirt is that delicious, buttery lightweight ponte that I love working with. And being a knit fabric, I was able to work out the inside waist details on the principle of using negative ease to ones advantage in a knit fabric. The red silk thread detail also secures the sides like a soft boning effect because those side seams are joined together with this hand stitched work.
I love my new skirt!🖤💛🧡❤️😎 #voguepatterns #voguedesigneroriginal #voguedesignerpattern #vogueamericandesigner #voguevintage #vintagepatterns #sewingknits #v2081 #couturesewingtechniques #handsewing #slowsewing #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #handmade #sewersofinstagram #sewover50 #so50visible #so50skirts #pencilskirts #guessvintage #vintageguess #sunnydays #couturesewing #embroidery #skirtwednesday #sewingskirts
