I got home early enough to throw off my work outfit and throw on the skirt, so you can see what it looks like on me.
Also I took a couple of detail shots. The first shows why it would have been kind of useless to show it to you without a body. It doesn't look like much, does it?
The second shot shows the interior detail. Instead of a traditional lining, I underlined it with the poly charmeuse.
It was all done on the machine and serger except for the hem, which I did by hand while watching the final wild card game.
Because I shortened this version quite a bit, I lost some of the shaping that's built into the skirt. I fixed that on my pattern pieces, so the next one will be better. Oh yes, there will definitely be more of these. I grant this pattern TNT status on the basis of this first attempt!

Just love that surprise lining! Skirt looks great on you - can see why you want to whip up a few more...J
Darling lining, the skirt looks excellent on you :)
I love your line about granting it TNT status based on the first attempt! I've got a few patterns that I knew I was going to make over and over again after the first one, too. It is a cute skirt and looks great on you so I know why you want to remake it!
What a fun lining! A cute skirt.
You look sooooo cute in that skirt!! I too love putting unexpected linings inside my garments. I once lined a pair of pants with a bra and panty motif. Aren't we lucky that we can have such fun with our clothes?!!
That looks fabulous on you! I love the lining!
You always look so put together. You have a great sense of what goes with what and how it looks on you. Pretty outfit. And I like the lining in your skirt.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I really appreciate all the kind comments.
Love it! I would make a closetfull, too. It looks great and is so versatile :) K
Very flattering--great shape and the perfect length for you.
