Notes	I had to do a few minor alterations to this skirt, but overall I'm happy with the pattern. There was originally too much fullness around the high hip, so I had to take that in (I have narrow hips but wide thighs, which confused the Lekala program a little, I think) I also shortened it significantly. I replaced the front darts with pleats, but only because I forgot to mark the darts on before sewing the skirt together. Oops.

What a lovely skirt! I think the pleats make it interesting without adding excess fullness. I may have to try this on my own-thank you for the inspiration!
