Notes I love the lines of this skirt. The pleating and curved seams on the front add interest, and the curve of the back waistband is lovely. I also love the back vent for walking ease. This was a straightforward construction, although I complicated things by adding a lining. (I always add a lining, even when it is orange!)

The Montreal suiting was purchased from Sawyer Brook in 2014, and I had been searching for that elusive pattern to match its beauty. I found it in this skirt! I am very pleased with the result and wear it frequently.

    Thank you, Shelagh! The lining is the last of a large amount of orange I had, earmarked for other projects that never came to pass. It works well with browns, and that is where much of it ended up!

    Merci, désirée! J'aime bien les decoupes de cette jupe et, pour moi, une doublure est essentiel!
