Yay, this is my next project, which is actually part of Project Effie Trinket. It is the pattern I am considering for the skirt for the Effie Trinket costume, but wanted to sew it in another fabric first to see how I liked it. I already made a quick muslin and made some fitting adjustments. On first blush though I think I am going to have to choose another skirt pattern. I didn’t realize this one was a low rider without a waistband.

A after much finagling to the original pattern, I am done! In the muslin stage I had added some fisheye darts to the back because when you add fabric to account for the booty, invariably you get all kinds of bunching up in the lower back valley, so I put two darts there. I also added added two fisheye darts below the bust too so that it is more fitted all around. The pattern is designed to be worn with a belt so it is loose in the waist, but I wanted to avoid the belted look and just make it more fitted.
