Thank you Caro, Gudrun and Di for your compliments!What comes to the ptaretn, I had none. I took the real short way: only some measuring and then I went straight to cutting fabric... But since it's real simple and a bit asymmetric - and the buttons are forgiving - you can do it without a ptaretn too!

nice, stylish but silmpe red skirt ensemble.  throwing on a dress/skirt in the morning seems so tedious to me; however, over the past few months, i've convinced myself that wearing pretty needs to be a bigger part of my life.  it's becoming such a joy to throw on a great dress in the morning.  it's light, sweet, freeing, and beautiful.  thanks for the reminder!
