M5330: Button Closure Skirt

How preppy is this?

I really don't know if its due to all the years of wearing uniforms through my childhood into teenage years for school but I really do love plaid,, love it. I have to say, I am happy it is "HOT" for fall '07.

M5330: View A, waistband, 4 loops , 8 (3/4 inch) buttons.

This was the first time I tried working with a plaid print, I figure something easy will build my confidence to try something more complex next time,,, not anytime soon but you know what I mean

Modifications: I added 1 inch to the width of the loops because I love a more sturder loop to hold my belt, I don't like thin belts.

I added 1 inch to the waistline also for the same reason, a thin waistline seem to disappear on me, and its not flattering at all.

I used a size 20 for this skirt and its fits flush, sorry, no actually photo of it on me.

The Back View, very simple

I am going to pair it up with my favorite white shirt and black deep cowl neek 3/4 sleeved sweater, my burgundy wrap puff sleeved top, and I'm going to layer a long sleeved plain round neck tee orange tee and brown  V neck ribbed sweater, orange for a punch of color.

so off to the cleaners it go.

Guess what I got in the mail?

Isn't that the easiest skirt pattern ever? I made that one in no time flat.

You have inspired me to make one of these! I may get some plaid tomorrow!!!

You did your thing with this skirt ok. Reminds me of burberry. Great job! I signed up for beginner's sewing(5 classes) and I am so excited to finally learn and learn correctly!

I love the skirt. You have done such a great job with it.

Beautiful! I bet it looks fabulous on you!

Great skirt! I have that pattern also. Hmmm....

I love love love that skirt. I want one just like it!! I'm gonna have to go hunt up some plaid!

Very cute skirt, I really like the plaid.

YAH! On more yarn!! Your cardi is gonna look fabulous! Can't wait to see it on you!

Love the plaids and the skirt is very nice!I am going to have to try and make something with plaid also.

I really like that new skirt! Thanks for telling us about the waist modification - I don't like thin waistbands either.

I hadn't heard that plaid was hot this season, and am glad to hear it, as I have a lot of plaid skirts in my closet that I was going to wear anyway (cuz I love plaid too.)
