Just finished testing the Lettie Skirt by Goldfinch Textile Studio. This skirt is in testing and the pattern will be released soon. It is a minimal waste skirt pattern. I made the whole skirt for less than 3 yards of 54â fabric. It has extended sizing, accommodating a max waist of 58â and a max hip of 66â. The design features a beautiful integrated button placket, flat piping accents, ample side seam pockets, and a shaped hem. The waistband is half elasticated making it so comfortable.
My make is made with a lightweight slightly shiny denim tencel. The fabric was a bit slippery and tended to fray, which added a bit of challenge. The flat piping is cut on cross grain which with this fabric tends to make it seem like a slightly a different color. I chose to do a front slit. The button placket is wonderful. The pockets are amazing. The flat piping in the seams adds a bit of structure to this flowy fabric, making the skirt skim over the body, and move wonderfully. The construction was straight forward and I would rate it for an intermediate sewist. If you are looking to dig into a bit of a challenge and need a wardrobe staple, this pattern could be for you. This is a straight size O. I am 5â4â so it is a bit longer than intended.
I did receive compensation for testing, but there was no obligation to share or post. I highly recommend this pattern.
