Skirt

This week  i made a skirt. I was undecided on what style to do.

So this what i made.

I used chiffon. I liked the colour but the material was hard to use because it was fraying the minute i got it. the fabric was £3 pounds a meter, and i got 2 meters and used a meter.

I used a elastic waist band to get into it. i made it too small so in the end it could only fit me but putting it on was a struggle.

What went wrong ?

When i was putting it on the side seam ripped. I wasn't happy with the final outcome in the first place so it made me more reluctant to show it in the fashion show

The hem wasn't the best because everything else went wrong whilst making. I used have used a red thread really. The fabric was really thin and so i doubled the fabric up. And created layers on the hem.

I would not use the same method and would change the style completely. And research different styles first, because i feel it's not fashionable at all.
