If you are in Paris and want to find great fabrics, just go to Marché Saint Pierre Dreyfus (2 Rue Charles Nodier, 75018 Paris, I usually take Metro Anvers Line 2, Walk up to see Sacred Heart Church then turn to the right).
Ok back to my skirt, my body is I guess like most bodies, is different. I sometimes don’t fit in medium skirts but at the same time large ones are too heavy. If you have this problem, sewing your own skirt is the best option. Plus, I like skirts with slits on them and most skirts don’t have one.
This African Wax print is just crazy colorful beautiful fun. I don’t know what else to say. And you won’t believe how much attention it gets lol. I hesitated buying more as people always ask me about my skirt. But if you do buy one, get those with sequins!!! In french they call them pailletes.
So first I do a skirt block (oh boy that’s another blog).
From the skirt block I cut out the pieces along the dart lines so I could make a slit, the one in yellow has two slits in front while the other one has one slit.
I then cut them and sew. (I will do drawing diagram next time).
I like that this material is quite sturdy and it makes for a good fit without having to put lining or anything. And during summer, it feels cool.
