1930's skirt

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

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