A quick and easy make, the Meadowdays skirt will make a great addition to your wardrobe at any time of year, just as chic in autumnal plaids or formal taffeta as light summer cottons.

The skirt is made in four flared gores, with a deep ruffle at the hem. The main gores are cut on the bias, while the ruffle is cut on the straight grain, giving scope to play with print directionality.  View 1 is made all in one fabric, while view 2 features a contrast ruffle. 

Perfect paired with the Lido bodice - I couldn't resist making a version in pink gingham to wear to the Barbie movie!

As an extra bonus, the pattern also comes with a vintage Simplicity guide to sewing with stripes and plaids with some top tips for pattern matching. 

The pattern comes in modern sizes 4-20 US / 8-24 UK. Get the pattern and instructions on Patreon.
