VERDICT & LESSONS LEARNT

A very easy thing to make but do not like this fabric – too bright, too stiff. Will not wear this skirt

Not a bad fit but could need a few tweaks for different fabrics as it sits just a tad low on my waist.

For a sturdier fabric might be better to taper the waist a little without changing the hips

For a finer or more delicate fabric, this is the correct fit
