I Love Pink Polka Dots!

This skirt started out as a western style 'A Line' cut.  From the beginning of this design to the final outcome I left it hanging in my sewing room.  It took me at least a month to run through the entire process.  I would play with it for a couple of days and then I would let it hang where I would have to look at it.  I am happy with the final design of the skirt - although I did end up with two finish types.  One is the skirt in this photo and the 2nd is a more simple version for those who don't want quite as much design on their clothing.

It's pretty simple really.  The main body is a light weight denim.  The skirt section is a cutsie cotton print, the ribbon is gros grain.
