Make your own diy draped skirt

I don't share already written post ideas that often but here is the one most definitely worth sharing and trying out.


Original post was posted on AnyWho blog which I read quite offen, cause it is simply fabulous!


I was admiring  diy draped skirt in Burberry Prorsum SS10 collection and looking for something similar in Zara and Top Shop, I haven't found it so I decided to make it on my own.


I'll post pictures as soon as its done. Today is the day D!


Try it out and post the pictures of your fabulous creation on my Facebook fan page!

Ready. Set.Go!

1. Use a high-wasted bodycon skirt as a pattern. Leave 1cm for the seam as you cut.

2. Cut out 8 wide pieces – they should be approx 25cm wide. Sew them together in pairs so you’ll end up with 4 long tubes.

3. Cross two tubes to achieve a draped effect. Repeat with the remaining two.

4. Pin everything down all the way around then take the back of the skirt and attach it to the front piece. 

Here is what AnyWho got as a result:

I suggest using a mixtures of silk and cotton so there is not much wrinkling later.

Xoxo lovelies!


                               

A pencil skirt flirt

  Pencil skirt is like a bottled water lovelies! It's a basic piece that never goes out of fashion, details are added or removed but the base stays the same. It is a slim fitting skirt with a straight and narrow cut. Generally the hem falls to, or just below, the knee and is tailored for a close fit. It's name comes from its shape: long and slim.


 It was the French designer Christian Dior who introduced the pencil skirt in the late 1940s,using the term H-line to describe its shape. It quickly became very popular, particularly for office wear.


Pencil skirt has been a staple in a closet of all fashionistas world wide. It is trendy, sexy, professional and versatile enough to be worn different ways 24-7 year around, it is universal, age proof and size proof, perfect piece to invest in. You can find some inspirational pieces bellow! Wear it your way!
