Searching for that something special

December 23, 2009

I’ve been working on skirt project, but I’m not sure how to complete it. At first, it was going to be a flared skirt that was down to my knees, but it looked dowdy. So I decided to fold it up into a bubble skirt.

At first, it seemed ok, but the more I look at it, I don’t know if I like it or I hate it. The hemline is a tad high and I’ll lower it a couple of inches, but is the overall style worth the risk?

This is the trial skirt (I didn’t have muslin on hand), the final product will probably be in a light brocade or something with a sheen.

The Bubble Skirt

What do you think?

Could use another shade to break the yellow tone, but that is just me. It would be better if you can share us the sketch. :-)

I wasn’t planning on a yellow skirt, I’m leaning towards a cream brocade or something with a light gray sheen.

Judging simply on the shape of the skirt, I’d say it looks great! Though yes, a slightly longer hemline would be ideal.

Thanks! I will be posting it later on, but I haven’t gotten around to 100% completing the skirt. Still need to put some final touches on it. =)
