Cobalt Blue Ballgown Skirt
I finished a blue skirt this afternoon for one of my friends. It’s made from McCall’s pattern M3436 using a cobalt blue taffeta that has a hint of stretch. When I bought the fabric I meant to make it for myself, and then when I got home I realized I got the wrong size pattern. Rather than adjust it for my size or go back to the store for an exchange, I figured I’d make one for a friend instead. I didn’t have a hook-and-eye closure and wanted to finish it today, so the tab above the zipper uses a snap. Classy! The photo below, the only one I have so far, was taken at her place with an iPhone.

love it! nice work amy! everytime i see a project i think to myself “i’m proud of her” – as if i’m your mother or as if i had something to do with your project in some way. ha – not the case, but i still think that your projects are great and am constantly inspired! (ps – i am secretly in love with ballgown skirts, so i’m extra attracted to this!) i have a pattern sitting at home with a similar skirt, maybe slightly more of a mermaid that i’ve been hoping to make for several years now…i’ll get around to it 🙂
