Size 140 which should be plenty big for my skinny dd, but it is actually almost too tight! Not sure if I cut the panel pieces wrong, but the waistband ended up being about 1 1/2 in. too long for the skirt. The 1 1/2 would have made all the difference! So I will have to go back and retrace to see if I did it right!

The skirt is assmebled just like normal, but lots and lots of topstitiching, which is the best part of this skirt so don't skip it. The pockets are constucted differently than I am used to, but it was very easy to do and sort of cool.

The instructions were easy to follow for the first part, but once you move to the waistband they have you look at another design for the instructions and I found those really hard to follow, so I just set about doing it on my own, which may have been my problem with it being too small!!

All in all I will probably make it for other dd in a twill.
