Notes	I needed a black skirt for summer. The shape of this skirt is intriguing and I loved the front drape. I prefer lining my skirts, even in summer, so I used a magenta rayon bemberg that I had to hand. The skirt was easy to line, although I had to attach the lining to the drape by hand. It flips out a bit in wear, but offers a fun shock of pink. The linen has less drape than I expected, but I suspect it needs a few more launderings to soften further. I am very pleased with this skirt and will have fun wearing it in warmer weather.
