Suggested Fabrics
Light to medium weight woven fabrics that will gather nicely such as cotton poplin, cotton lawn, linen, barkcloth, chambray and lighter weight denims, satin & taffeta. A stiffer fabric will create a statement skirt that will hold its shape or choose a drapey fabric such as viscose for a softer looking silhouette. The scallop hem detail will benefit from, and be easier to sew, in a stable fabric, such as a cotton poplin.
For formal events I’d suggest making Bloom in a bright, solid coloured taffeta with a contrast hem band or how about a classic and chic navy satin skirt. And of course, never forgetting the option of a making a statement in a bold, large scale printed linen or silk. Make Bloom in a soft linen or a crisp poplin for an everyday skirt to wear with flats or trainers and you’ll be running your errands in style.
This is a Midi length skirt but it is simple to lengthen or shorten the pattern to create your perfect skirt. The Bloom Skirt would look incredible as a full length maxi skirt in a brocade or even a Broderie Anglaise.
- Multi-sized patterns in size 8-22
