1930's skirt

[atherleisure]

I made the 1930's pleated skirt that Revival Designed is currently offering for free. (https://revivaldesignedshop.net/collections/1930-1939/products/1930-skirt-with-kick-pleats) It went together beautifully and quickly, even with doing the snap and hook and eye closure instead of a zipper. I didn't have an appropriate zipper handy.





I'm not sure what the fabric I used was. I bought it at least ten years ago for a dress that I eventually decided not to make, but it's some dress-weight synthetic. Since I didn't line it, there is a line where the sweater ends when tucked in so in the future I'll wear it with either a blouse or an untucked sweater.

The little kick pleats are a charming touch

That was the thing that made me want to make the pattern.

Nice cut and details on that skirt! And as always, your execution is flawless.

Thank you. The pattern went together very nicely, and you can't beat the price.

It's fantastic! I love the pleats!

Thanks! They were such a nice feature, and they mean that even with a fairly narrow line, there is absolutely no restriction to walking with a good stride.
