cream pencil skirt Pattern: McCall's 2088 (out-of-print) Fabric: cream gabardine Construction Notes: I altered the pattern to make the skirt below-the-knee length, changed the slit from the side seam to the back, and added lining. Miscellaneous Ramblings: I have two other skirts from this pattern, a brown and a black, and I just LOVE it. One thing that drives me nuts about some commercial patterns is that they don't have waistbands, so that's part of the reason I like this skirt so much. I wanted a semi-casual summer skirt that I could wear in situations in which a dress would be TOO dressy, so this is the result. back
