I have been dreaming of a skirt like this for the past couple weeks. I've seen a lot of ivory lace about recently and there's something I really love about mixing something so floaty and summery with autumn wear; thick black tights and boots, or a warm jumper, tweed jacket and scarf. I just love it!
This is the very same super easy skirt pattern that is my go-to design of the moment. I layered the lace over a crisp taffeta for a bit of volume and gathered it at the top before stitching it into a waistband of gorgeous ivory Duchesse satin.
And yes, a lot of what I'm doing at the minute seems to be heavily bridal inspired. And I'm not ashamed of that, I am a firm believer that if you could only wear ivory lace and silk for one day out of your whole entire life it would be a very sad world indeed! :)
You may also notice that all my skirts have mismatched buttons, this isn't so much of a style detail but more to do with the fact that I have a huge collection of buttons to use up but I generally only have one or two of each sort so it makes sense to me to go the whole way and have each of them different, besides it also means if I have two types of button, equally lovely, I don't have to choose between them, result! :)
