Description
The Florence Skirt
The Florence skirt suits every occasion from casual to workwear. Close fitting from the natural waist to hips flattering our smallest proportions and then gently floating down to mid-calf.
Skills to learn/develop whilst making the Florence Skirt include handling lightweight fabrics, inserting zips, using facings, under stitching, clipping curves, creating darts, gathering and hems.
The Florence Skirt designed for a lightweight woven fabric such as Viscose, Chambray, crepe….anything that drapes so that the bottom skirt can swish. Take a look at our own Fabric Pack for the Florence Skirt HERE

This is a lovely, well-drafted pattern, with some great anticipation built into it. Size Me Sewing has clearly imagined a beginner maker standing next to their machine saying “oh, no! I’ve never inserted an invisible zip!” and the instructions have been written with reassurance in mind. I added one or two tweaks just in terms of finishing the seams, but otherwise this was a straightforward project, made as directed. The Florence skirt is a lovely, flexible garment which lends itself to being worn with tights and boots or flip-flops! A bonus would be that you can have this pattern drafted to your specific size – I didn’t use this service but what a great, inclusive idea. More power to Size Me Sewing!

Ahh Yes!! I always have a beginner in mind when I’m writing the instructions…I also think a nice gentle reminder to the experienced sewist is a good thing too!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it and I loved seeing it on Instagram, thanks Donna xx
