Outfit post – OOTD – Grey handmade skirt

Today’s post is just an outfit! I went to work at the library all day today, so I was going for cute librarian! Did I win?

Skirt: Handmade

Cardigan: Alice and the Pirates

Shoes: Big W

Blouse: Target

This skirt is one I made back in 2009 (?) from one big old rectangle and a different waistband pattern.

The skirt is made of four box-pleats. So the skirt is made of a rectangle of length 3*hip measurement, and then folded into box pleats. There’s a zipper at the side and it’s all attached to a simple wide waistband that goes from my hips to my waist.

I got this fabric from a bizarre church sale where they were only selling fabric and patterns for super cheap. It’s pinstripe suiting. I lined it with spots!
