Sorry, do I need the facing if I’m attaching it to a top? I want to add this skirt to the Barbara top. Would I look at the Barbara video for how to connect the two?
Correct! Omit the facing, and follow the Barbara Bodice instructions to combine the two and add the zipper at center back on the dress.
What is the difference between this and the Maria pencil skirt?
Can I use this skirt on the night and day dress? I love the night and day bodice but would like more skirt variations
Does anyone know how to adjust the front seams of the skirt? it sort of poofs ( it is more and necessary in the back ;) but i would like the front to lie flatter....TIA
I love this. And I'd to know If It's possible to make the skirt without lining and how finish bottom edges 🖤
I love the zipper option.
At what point would you add the circle skirt waistband if you were doing it that way?
I would construct the skirt, omit the waistband facing, insert the zipper and then apply the waistband. Hope that helps!
Would love the source of the pink plaid! 😍💕

I love it! Am I missing the yardage required somewhere? I can't find it. :(

Love this skirt!!! As always great video Thanks so much Gertie
I will post a photo when done!
Hi Gertie💕 Your not going to believe this, I have been making a dress with a vent with lining and didn’t know how to finish it. This excellent tutorial has taught me how to finish it!😊 thank you ❤️
Great instructive video.
I adore the skirt so much! In your videos I would love to see the skirt (or the finished product in general) modelled on you afterwards, especially when I love the fabric choice so much on the video version :)
We'll be sharing photos of the finished skirt on social media! Filming days are super hectic and there's not always time to add that to the mix. :)
Great video! I love the inspiration.
Sassy Collective!!! This skirt is fantastic!!
Watching the video like when is she going to realize! While nervously chewing on my finger. I appreciate that you didn't just re-film and pretend like it didn't happen. Knowing that someone as skilled as you can make a mistake like that, makes me slightly less hard on myself when I do something similar.
