Pattern and Instructions: Boardwalk Slim Skirt
It’s not quite a pencil skirt, and it’s not quite a flared trumpet skirt…what is it?
It’s the Boardwalk Slim Skirt! With the swish of a bias-cut skirt (although it’s cut on the straight grain), this magical slim skirt has just enough flare for walking ease.
A Lamour-series expansion for the Boardwalk Sundress, it can be used with any Lamour-series bodice to create a dress or with a waistband to create a separate skirt.
And with many fabric options, this skirt is sure to be an elegant and simple addition to your everyday wardrobe.

I was literally going to Frankenstein the boardwalk bodice onto the Night and Day trumpet skirt for one of my fabrics. I didn’t have enough to make the patio skirt. So glad I waited for the expansion release! Yay, I’m so excited!!!
Only thing is this is gonna need pockets. I'm gonna have to figure that out first
Hey gertie! Where is that strawberry fabric from? It's gorgeous
it is in the instruction ;-)
Ahhh ,here was me thinking of making the Boardwalk top with a pencil skirt and this pops up 👏👏 just the ticket 🥰
Love this skirt shape
I am so in love with this design!!! Can’t wait to sew one!! ❤️❤️
THANK YOU! I want to make a skirt - not a full circle and not a pencil skirt. I was hoping for a half circle but this has hit the right note for me ☺️
Thank you! This skirt is slim but gives us just enough room for our bottom half to breathe in the summer! I LOVE the strawberry fabric! Great expansion to all Lamour and thank you very much! I just love your entire Patreon collection! A fantasy come true!
Yaaassss!!!
Very very cute!
Love love love this skirt version! 💖 There’s a few fabrics I’ve got I would love a trumpet skirt but didn’t want to break up the print. This will work great. And less than a metre too - will be able to use up a lot of remnants etc with this as a skirt and waistband. 👏
Love this 100x more than the gathered version and I thought that was cute.
I love this. I really wish there were #tags for the different series of interchangable dresses/bodice/skirts. I struggle to keep up - even with cheat sheets. #lamour
There is a link to a spreadsheet somewhere that has all the patterns and which series they're in, but I can't recall where. Going to have to hunt for it again.
Cute! I've had to switch to closer fitting bottoms since getting my golden retriever because she tries to grab anything that flutters or swishes. I think this will work better for me :)
😹
Thank you so much for this! My sewing time is limited , but I can still make nice things
Omg! Yes. I love it. I can't wait to make and post a picture. :) Thanks
This is perfect for me! As much as I love the look of big skirts on so many of you all this suits my personal style lines- I suit much more of a Joan look than a Peggy look 😉. Thank you!!
Now THIS I want to make! Le sigh, like I need another dress lol.
Ooh!!!! I love it!!!!😍
ooooh i love another cute addition to the lamour series! 🍓
I adore this! I wasn't keen on the tiered skirt because it's just not my style but this is stunning 😍😍😍
And all that gathering! Just the thought of it makes my hands and wrists hurt.
So pretty! I’m so excited for this dress! You do spoil us rotten 💖
Love it! PLEASE consider PROJECTOR files for those of us not wanting to use paper. Thanks!
Yes seconded please 🙏
Love this! A great option for the L series, so many makes to consider...
I know it’s an L, but damned if the temptation of using Rita for a Regency-bound dress ain’t there.
Cute!
Knew it!!!! Spied the top of this version on the instructions!!! So happy!! Sewing this for my 40th!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️ THANKS GERTIE AND TEAM xx x
Oh yes! This is gonna be my jam right here!
I like it!!!!!!!
