🪡 Sewing Instructions – Step-by-Step

  1. Sew the Darts
    Start by stitching the darts on both the front and back panels for a flattering fit.

  2. Insert the Zipper
    Add a 22 cm invisible zipper to the back seam for a clean, seamless look.

  3. Create the Back Vent
    Construct the slit at the back for ease of walking and a professional finish.

  4. Join the Side Seams
    Stitch the front and back panels together at the side seams.

  5. Hem the Skirt
    Hand-stitch the hem invisibly for a polished edge.

  6. Sew the Lining Skirt
    Construct the skirt lining using the same pattern.

  7. Attach the Lining
    Baste the lining to the main skirt, aligning all seams neatly.

  8. Create and Attach the Waistband
    Cut a waistband using your waist measurement + 2 cm seam allowance + 3 cm overlap + 2 cm ease. Attach it to the skirt and secure with a button closure.

✨ Style It

Pair this skirt with a crisp white shirt, statement necklace, and heeled sandals as styled by SisterMAG—or dress it down with a soft knit top and ballet flats. The metallic brocade fabric brings just enough drama to make it a standout piece for any wardrobe.
