Are you sitting down? It wasn't Vogue 2885. I know, hard to believe!
The fabric is a soft corduroy, the fabric of Kings. Actually, it is more of a pincord. It has a narrow wale and is as soft as velvet. The fabric is a blend and does have some rayon found in it. And despite my apprehension towards rayon, I couldn't resist.
I picked a brown zipper from my stash that I thought was a close-enough colour and went to work adjusting it to the size I needed.
Everything after that was basically straight forward. I did however decide to leave the mock pocket flaps off. I typically wear my tops/sweaters out and rarely tucked in, and I just wanted to avoid the bulk.
Pattern Description:
High waisted flared skirt has front slit, centre back zipper, and mock pocket flaps.
Pattern Sizing:
The pattern includes sizes 8-20. I made a size 14.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, I would say so. Except I did leave off the faux pocket flap.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were fine, I didn't have any difficulty with them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the high waist and the flared skirt. I dislike the fact that I've gained weight and the skirt is a wee bit snug and it looks like some quality time on the treadmill might be in my near future. Right now, I'm not feeling that it is the most flattering design for my current figure.
Fabric Used:
Pincord a cotton and rayon blend.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I would absolutely recommend the pattern. I'm not 100% sure if I would like to sew it again anytime soon.
