Hello everyone and I'm sorry for the wait! I've again been very busy since I finally also found a job and so its been taking up a lot of my time as well as school but, finally finished!
I call this a "fish scale" skirt since the very curved pieces in the skirt remind me of fish scales from this show that I also like to watch called Rehab Addict on DIY network. She repaired some on a house she was doing but, thats another story all together.
So before you guys think anything, this will probably be the official end of any spring/summer stuff for a while. Working in the concept of fall/ winter and already came up with a great idea, I just need someone to test run it so to speak but, onto the design!
This skirt is a peplum skirt with a red waistband. The peplum part I added a pop of red as you can tell and am also playing with a floral and white piece of fabric I found. It is split similarly to the "Black and Red With White in the Middle" skirt post I did a few weeks ago but, no zipper and the top stitching is different as well. The waist band I wanted to do something differently and unfortunately didn't go as planned, the white part in the center of the front was supposed to "triangle" more but, with my lack of knowledge in pattern making I'm really bad at it sometimes unfortunately. The closure on this is the simple hook and eye for the waistband part and Center Zipper for the skirt half.
Over all I got mixed reviews about this skirt. Some say the skirt would look better with black and floral instead of white, others say its fine. For some reason people also got a "japanese" vibe from it. Personally, I like it but, also could see how much more it would of popped with the black and floral concept. The red parts though, I'm still keeping since I love that color of pop.
So yes, sorry again it took so long, I also hope I can find someone to "test run" my idea of my first attempt at fall/winter apparel. Please comment on what you guys think of this and if you guys have any request.
