Copy-Cat in Prairie Girl Chic
comments (5) June 1st, 2008 in gallery
A few years ago I paid an insane amount of money for a cute cotton skirt with a ruffled edge, elastic waist and muslin petticoat that I found at Anthropologie. As I rode the subway back home I was experiencing some buyer’s remorse so I resolved to use my purchase as a template and make some copies. I already had some cotton fabric, elastic and some muslin so I was all set. I laid the original down on the floor and simply traced the outline of the skirt. The fun part was making a ruffled tier (I actually made two) a few inches from the hemline. Then I used some heavy weight contrasting thread to stitch some nice detail within the tier and along the hem of the muslin underskirt. So far I’ve made six of these skirts: several for my niece and several for some friends. This is the one I kept for myself.

I was wondering if the underskirt is attached in some way or is a separate skirt?
Thanks,
