I'm really glad I went the extra mile with it now. And thanks also for your necklace comments. Ooobop, the necklace came before the skirt, about two years before in fact! It goes with lots of my blue and grey clothes but never before has it matched a garment so perfectly! If anybody's interested it was from Anthropologie. x<br />Nathalie, there is no outside waistband, it's waistbandless and just has the spotty facing on the inside. xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-10867454639516970202011-05-06T11:10:57.656+01:002011-05-06T11:10:57.656+01:00Gorgeous colour and beautiful fit!

I also love such details, even if I'm the only one to ever see them. Is the outside waistband the same cut and fabric as the inside? <br /><br />I've been working from McCall 6439 which I thoroughly recommend (although other views of yours are more interesting than mine. Mine starts off simple and only goes into increasingly gored views with no detailing...).Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-66095488409716544492011-05-06T10:50:07.344+01:002011-05-06T10:50:07.344+01:00I am so impressed at your attention to detail in m...I am so impressed at your attention to detail in making a "free" garment. It would have been so easy to rush at it because it was in a way "disposable", instead of doing as you did, and valuing the materials as if they had been bought with this item in mind. Love the dots! And the necklace is the perfect finishing touch to your outfit!Roobeedoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395340950409421904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-75734617252272522232011-05-06T02:53:27.655+01:002011-05-06T02:53:27.655+01:00This looks so nice, inside and out.This looks so nice, inside and out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-4613783521919183922011-05-05T23:04:14.463+01:002011-05-05T23:04:14.463+01:00Lovely skirt!
