Fifties skirt

Yesterday I suddenly felt fed up with hemming endless white linen and cut out a skirt instead. I’ve been wanting to make this dress for a while:

At the moment I need skirts more than anything else, so I just omitted the top. I like the way the width is collected to the back, and it will be interesting how it turns out in fabric. I’m making it in a printed cotton, rather sturdy. If it turns out to look as nice as I hope for, then I’ll probably make more skirts out of this pattern.
