I am going to a family wedding at the end of this month. Beginning of next month. I was taught well by my Grandmother so I know how to dress for a wedding. Same Grandmother for the groom. The does and do nots. This is the first invitation I have ever seen with a dress code. The invitation was a bit odd so I should not be surprised.
I made myself a new skirt. I will be wearing this with a silk blouse. It should work in the field the wedding is being held in.
A full circle. Pockets. To the floor. Twirls! I could actually wear this everyday. I was thinking that maybe I wanted a more structured waistband instead of elastic. But I have lost a few pounds over the recent months and I appear to be losing a few more. I want to be able to continue to wear this skirt. I did not stitch the hole for the elastic closed even!
I can always come back and change the waistband. I have enough fabric leftover to make a sheath dress. I cut the skirt on purpose to create that. I could probably eek out enough for another waistband if I could not use the one that came off the skirt. Being frugal here. Which I do a lot of! My mending pile does not go down even when I took two things off of it, like I did yesterday.
