Wow, does this look unexciting lying on the floor! It's really nice on, though. The fabric has a vertical slightly rippled texture (see fuzzy close-up below). You can't tell this from the photo, but it's about an inch below knee length. The colour is slightly bluer and cheerier than it appears here -- closer to colour in the close-up.
I made it about an inch too big in the waist, but I may leave it that way just so I can keep moving. I have my next skirt cut out, from the same pattern. No promises on the completion date -- I've learned my lesson!
P.S. Does anyone else think the skirt looks like it's floating in the air? ;)
