That’s some of the fun for me, drafting from a sloper and having a better than even chance of it actually fitting! Great job.

The sewing gods were with you! (Related to Anoia perhaps?) It might also work rather well in a medium-weight wool herringbone tweed (with a half-circle skirt lining). Fabworks calls...

Oh my goodness Sian, this is flipping brilliant, and you are a genius!! I was pausing and scribbling on a piece of paper to try and work out that side extension bit, and this is a deceptively complicated design. And, if it helps, it definitely would have taken me that amount of trial and error too! I "think" it makes sense to me that the hem was level, because you weren't adding any flare in, but just moving a section from the back to the front, and vice versa. (I hope that makes sense!). But I agree that the stable fabric meant the bias didn't stretch, and it probably would on a lighter weight fabric. Good luck with next one, it will be lovely in the stripey denim. And good luck with the waistcoat, it will be a breeze after this! I've probably said this before, but I can highly recommend the pattern drafting book Bianca uses, which is "Pattern Making For Fashion Design" by Helen Joseph Armstrong. I got mine second hand from World Of Books years ago, and it's the most comprehensive drafting book I own. And good luck with the two lovely dress designs you showed. And now I'm going to shut up! Lynne 🤩☘

Well done Sian on reinventing the Halston skirt for you, very good explanation on your working out the adjustments of the pattern pieces. Did you know there is a drama series on Netflix about Halston himself ?

I was sure I was following your explination, but then you added that side piece and I was lost. The end result is just brilliant and I really like the way it flows. I have to admit that I have not watched the making of the first version but if you make a thrid version in say contrasting colours then I will be watching. Do you think that this pattern would allow for pockets in some way?
@jessicaneal8553

Ooh, yes you should be able to fit in side seam pockets in that first 10 inch section - or complete it then add a welt pocket 😂 (I've not tried them myself, but they look like they'll affect the fit over the hips less)

Possibly contrast top stitching to show off the style lines? I'm assuming that the flat felling is machine stitched so a different bobbin thread? Good job with the drafting!

That is a lovely skirt, it drapes so nicely. Something my brain got stuck on, that I'm not sure if you did it on purpose or not, was you brought the style line to the center of the skirt, instead of across to the other side of the skirt (as it is in the line drawing). Not sure how much of a difference it would make, but I wanted to point it out! You've done a fantastic job.
@KittenishBehaviourSian

I hadn't noticed that!! I think the original skirt was a lot slimmer when in A-Line form and the "interesting style line" does cross over to what would be the very edge of the skirt as you say. It would definitely enhance the wrap around nature of the final skirt, could be fun to play around with the placement of that line and see what happens! :) I think I was trying to draw my style line parallel to the side seam of my iteration but it was honestly all guess work (and done upside down for the demonstration! ;)
