I need something to wear to a Summer wedding, and thought it might be nice to make part of my outfit. The pattern is Simplicity 8923. But, I did add pockets. Fun pattern, the godets were tricky at first, and the hemline is so long…makes for a nice twirl, though!
It is really beautiful! Nice job of blending the batiks…a surprise each time you twirl! Have fun at the wedding in your lovely new outfit!

Thanks!
Super pretty! I have been resisting the rayon batik fabrics, not knowing what I’d make with them. This is a great idea though. I love a long, flowy skirt. Light as air…

Thank you! It’s just cotton…light enough to be comfortable, though. But, I bet rayon would have a lovely drape!

Oh gosh, it sure does. Your skirt looks so flowy for cotton! Maybe the weight of it. The gores add a lot. Nice job with those, they can be tricksy to sew.

This is lovely! I love the subtle difference between the two fabrics in the skirt…show it off on the dancefloor

Thank you! I probably spent half an hour trying to choose fabrics that complimented each other in color and in the scale of the print. And they’re really out of my comfort zone - most of my clothes are much more subdued.

lol I went down that rabbit hole and literally had to walk away from my computer before I spent my entire retirement funds…lol…wow…when I get done with my fifteen million other pieces of clothing fabric I will look again!
Oooh! It looks so breezy!
