I have made view A of this skirt (2nd from the top on the left) once before in a Japanese cotton and just love how girlie and cool it feels.
This time I used a cotton voile from Spotlight.
Photos taken by DMThe skirt has the pleats stitched down and it is fully lined with a white voile using an A-line skirt pattern as this gives me enough room to walk without adding a lot of volume around my legs.
The only change I made to the pattern was to take 1cm of each side seam from the waist to the hip line, a very small adjustment, however the skirt now sits where I want it to.
Now to keep my eye open for fabrics for tops to go with this skirt.

That is very pretty and looks wonderful with your gorgeous knitting. Surely it is hot enough at lunch time to wear this now - maybe with tights?If it were mine I could not bear to leave it in the wardrobe all autumn.
Hi Sharon
Your skirt looks great. I love the colours, the pattern and the style. It works really well with your knitted top and I am sure it will go with lots more. Well done.

What a lovely skirt! You look beautiful in it. I love your super pretty outfit.
Oh my gosh! This is so lovely!
This looked lovely when you were hemming it and even nicer on!
Very nice job on both pieces. The colours are great for you, too. I love following your blog. Wanda in Edmonton (Canada)
I love your skirt. These are some of my favourite colours, but then I do have many.
Very cute and bright on this dull old day where I am!!
Very nice skirt and knitted top. That chartreuse colour is so great for you! I can see how the skirt could be worn with different tops though. How would the skirt be with tights, knee length boots a thinner top and a cardigan or jacket for cooler weather?
Love the bright colours in the skirt - it is a very flattering style too!
Lovely fabric. I reckon you could wear it now with boots and a jacket.
That's a very pretty skirt. Looks terrific with the sweater.
What a gorgeous skirt. It looks fantastic on you, the fabric is great.
I couldn't comment before cos I couldn't get the pics to load! Love the skirt but don't agree on the boots. Not in Sydney.
That is such a lovely skirt and it coordinates perfectly with the green gables sweater.
It's really pretty. I love your outfit. This skirt style and colours are just great on you.
I want to come raid your closet! Beautiful outfit :)
