I made a Cute skirt before this one. I haven't posted a picture of it because I was not happy with the fit. I made the size according to my waist and hip measurements on the package. It came out kind of poofy in the back. I went to the flicker skirt group that Kristin at Sew Mama Sew mentioned to me the other day on my other skirt post and lo and behold someone else had made this skirt and had the same problem. She recommended going down a size. I did that with this skirt and voila, a fabulously cute skirt with no poof.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted about this skirt and the fitting problem. I made a skirt from the same pattern and was so disappointedsam with the fit in the back I never wore it. Thanks for the solution! It's a great pattern and I hated not wearing the skirt. Problem solved!!!
Thanks, Judy! I made one and like it, (though I haven't hemmed it yet), but was also disappointed in the poof. I'd even considered taking out one section on the next one I made. I'm going to try your solution.
