Mrs Stylebook skirt
Here is a photo of style#36 from the latest Mrs Stylebook magazine made up in a lovely bright pink sueded silk duppioni. The fabric was a gift. Thanks, Pam! It has enough body that it makes the hemline stand out slightly, and I think it turned out pretty cute. I used my regular narrow waistband method instead of their recommended band with elastic in the back. I didn't have to lengthen it at all, and it really went together quickly, not really taking much fabric either. I hope to make another out of a green poppy print charmeuse. It won't have the body of the duppioni, but since it's polyester, it may do all right.

Wow! What a great shape on you. Love that pink skirt Liana. Definately a keeper. Kayleen
Thanks Kayleen! It's a really fun skirt, and a new skirt shape for me.
Liana,
Love the skirt, but lets talk about the top. Did you make it?

Sonja, Thanks! Yes, I made the top too, a long time ago. It's a white on white cotton print that's flocked in a leaf pattern, and had holes within the design. I just cut around the flocking in a pleasing design after sewing the shoulder and side seams. It's a very basic shape, almost a square, with tucks at the shoulder. Long OOP McCalls pattern.
Liana...I am so glad you enjoyed the silk! That pink is so perfect on you...and the style is so "Liana".

Thanks, Pam! I'm glad you approve the fabric! It turns out I love the washed silk duppioni and I never would have known it but for you. Thanks again.
