Pattern and Instructions: The Homecoming Skirt
Isn’t she a dream? We’ve taken the classic vintage circle skirt and turned it into a fantasy ball gown for all of your prom and homecoming dreams.
The Homecoming Skirt pattern comes in two lengths, with an optional asymmetrical spiral draped overlay for added drama.
It is fully interchangeable with every Lamour-series bodice and also works perfectly as a separate skirt, so you have so many options for both day and night!
You'll find the tiled file (for printing at home on A4 or letter size sheets and taping together) and the A0 file (for printing at a copy shop like ThePlottedPattern.com). Please note that we have two size blocks, so make sure to download the correct files for the size you're making. If you have any questions about which size to sew, don't forget to read our blog post with all the details!
Don't forget to share your makes with the hashtags #homecomingskirt and #charmpatterns. I can't wait to see what you make!
xoxo,
Gertie

Thank you for sharing this! Sometimes you just need a good basic circle skirt pattern you can print out (I don't have a projector yet sadly!) instead of trying (and failing) to draft one yourself, especially when you want it in multiple lengths and for different waist sizes AND you just don't have the space for plus-size drafting. This is goddess-sent. Thank you so much!
Can you do a Basque waist with this dress? (I'm eyeing the Landis bodice)
Gertie, that periwinkle is STUNNING against your skin tone!!
I don’t have any Lamour series. Is there another top this would pair with?
The Barbra, Landis, Las Vegas, Grace, & Peggy bodices are all Lamour series and Patreon patterns so you should be able to download any of them.
Is the sheer overlay lined with something sheer or is it hemmed??
It’s been carefully cut along the hem line and then additional strips of fabric with the scallops has been delicately stitched on top so that it has the beautiful shell detail all the way round the hem
This would be perfect if I were going to NY frocktails.
Then you must go!
I am so happy!!
Where is the pink fabric from
Perfect for my daughters sweet sixteen. She is going to be so excited.
I love seeing options in the mix and match series. It would help to have an added column to the spreadsheet that designates if the pattern is a top, bottom, or full body. That way we can see a new Lamour Series bottom came out, and quickly search what patterns are just Lamour tops.
Great idea! Consider it done.
Your timing is perfection! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I love it!!! The short version could actually look really amazing in a more casual fabric too, so appreciate having both lengths-I can see sundress as well as gowns! 40th birthday and end of year work gala: check ✅
Adorable. Thank you!!!!
So excited to make this! I’m thinking a the short version for a wedding at the end of September…now to decide on a bodice!
Just wow🥰🥰🥰! Finally I can use that skirt for someone at the wedding at the end of september🎉🎊🎉!
I just searched for 60” wide fabric briefly and all I can find is curtains or quilt backs. I guess I could make a skirt out of a curtain but that’s not ideal. Where are other people finding fabric for this?
A lot of apparel fabric is 56-60" wide, I get a lot of mine from Mood, but B and J, Hart, Emma One Sock, Boho all have great selections.
Absolutely stunning! Oh where, oh where could I wear this?
You need to STOP making PERFECT designs. I’m never gonna catch up 🤣🤣🤣 another absolutely incredible pattern!!!!!
I feel you!.
Don’t need a ball gown but can see this being a beautiful work-suitable dress in simpler fabrics. Beautiful. I need to see what bodices are part of lamour series. I don’t own lamour itself.
Tons of bodice options are from the Patreon collection! Peggy, Landice, Vegas…
OMG Gertie 😲! This is so gorgeous 😍
You never fail to make the 1st of the month the best day of the month! Since I saw this on Gertie at the book party I’ve been waiting patiently, I can’t wait to make the Camille/homecoming mash up 💕
The chart of all patterns needs to be updated with both Camille (since it is compatible) and the Homecoming skirt. I didn’t see either listed on the chart.
So if we already have a short circle shirt with pockets, can we just print out the overlay?
i would think so
I’m in love! Pretty sure I’ll be making a skirt version and multiple dresses 🥰 Thank you Team Charm!
I can't wait to sew this one up.! I may even completely re-make one of my old bridesmaid dresses with this skirt pattern. I love this skirt more than the other pattern I used.
Pockets!!!
Love it!!!! Perfection.
The skirt!!!! 😍 I love y’all
Oooo omg. Can I just say Christmas dress 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
This is disappointing... I mean this could just be a free hack. Does it even have pockets or anything interesting going on to learn from? It feels like we keep getting less and less, I don't even understand why it couldn't be a full dress with the bodice having just a small modification from an existing charm pattern thrown in (example sweetheart neckline or strapless construction)..
Also missing how to make it with a long train as the sketch. I mean they might as well have done anything to match the image a tiny bit, but just color way...
Absolutely beautiful special occasion gown!!!!
Soooo happy! I am in love with this new pattern 😍😍😍😍
Is this the skirt (paired with the Camille bodice?) that Gertie wore to the book launch?? I've been snooping for what it was since the moment I saw it. Extremely excited about this one :)
Yes, she mentions that at the beginning of the video. 😄
Ohhh i need this skirt in my life 😭❤️
Ahhhhhhhh. Omg. Do I need a floor length ball gown? No am I going ro make it to lounge around the house? Sure am! In love.
I am going to make a ball gown to play outside with the horses. Why not?!😆😆😆
Such a beautiful skirt. And yes, I would love to go down the Sanremo stairs with it.
It’s great! What bodice pattern is Gertie’s dress?
Camille as stated in instruction booklet :)
Aaaaah 😱 I love it! 🥰
This is amazing! I was worried that if this was a homecoming/ prom pattern it would feel too fancy for me, but I can absolutely see myself making and wearing this skirt! Another lamour series piece is *chef's kiss* perfect! Can't wait to make this!
Oh my gosh I just fell over! Beautiful! Wedding dress?
