Re: Summer skirt
Even during those troubling times at hand, I feel confident I will be able to go to the beach before the season is over. With that in mind I made a skirt that is very light and easy to put on and pull off. It is an A-line circle skirt of lightweight denim with a zipper over the full height of the front. Since last year I try to have the skirts sitting at my waist line instead of my hips. For that you need a little more flare directly below the waistband. This skirt is still a tad tight around the hips so I need a larger hem. I will do that with my next skirt.
It is hardly to believe with the current cool weather I will walk around is just this (without the heels that is).

Re: Summer skirt
I do hope that you will wear a top of some sort with that skirt.

Re: Summer skirt
What is wrong with a polo shirt? Or is my lack of fashion and color sense too obvious?

Re: Summer skirt
BL I see nothing wrong with the top you are wearing and the skirt is just fantastic. I think it looks just fine the way it is.

Re: Summer skirt
Only at the beach I might be topless. But also skirtless.

Re: Summer skirt
I made a bigger brother for the last skirt. It is slightly longer and has a larger hem. And there is a zipper along the whole front.
Now the temperature has to go up and the virus has to go down before I can go to the beach.

Re: Summer skirt
Your latest creation hangs really well on you. It looks as though it will give you plenty of freedom of movement. I particularly like the detail of the fastening. Are they studs?

Re: Summer skirt
Those two shiny things are snaps. You punch holes in the fabric, put the right combination of parts together in each part of the fabric and hammer them. I tried to make button holes first but the fabric was too thick so I had to go to Plan B.

It looks like a simple operation but you need a clear head to assemble the four parts in the correct order and orientation and on the correct pieces of fabric.

Re: Summer skirt
A good solution. I favour them as they’re what’s on my utility kilts

Re: Summer skirt
The light grey fabric is a nice fabric for summer skirts. I made another one, this time a wide circle skirt that looks like a skater skirt. Total length is 40 cm (15.5") and will give a lot of ventilation during hot summer days, if they are ever coming.
I made so many skirts, I'm running dry on ideas for new models.

Re: Summer skirt
I think the last 3 skirts are great . I especially like the one with the full length zipper.
That outfit with the shirt you had on looks normal and natural.
I do like the heels better than the flats so when do you start production
