I lined the skirt with pink lining to add some fun to the otherwise neutral fabric. The lining peeks when seating or moving.
I made this skirt using Burdastyle godet skirt pattern from the August 2012 issue. I made some changes by lining the entire skirt and adding a godet stay. The skirt was finished using couture sewing techniques, which I describe in detail on my blog, Frabjous Couture
