FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
The Gone Rogue Skirt is designed for light to mid-weight woven fabrics. The skirt is constructed as two separate asymmetrical layers which results in a double layer of fabric on the top portion, finished with multiple flat felled seams. Treating the inner layer as a lining for creating the waistline and invisible zipper construction allows for a beautifully clean finish. The underskirt serves as both a lining and a second tier that peaks out from the bottom of the top skirt layer. The double layer of fabric allows for more coverage if you choose a lightweight, semi-translucent material. Choosing a fabric that is on the heavier side may result in difficulty sewing and bulky seams. Stick to wovens that drape nicely for optimal ruffle goodness! A stabler fabric will be more beginner friendly. Light-Mid weight linen, viscose, modal, silk, or cotton with a good drape are recommended options for this pattern.
FIT RECOMMENDATIONS
The Gone Rogue Skirt sits snuggly at the waist down through the hip and then starts to flare out slightly into more of an A-line shape. Choose your size based off your measurements above and if you fall across multiple sizes, you may need to grade between sizes. Even with the fitted appearance of the top section, the fit accommodates enough ease for comfort while wearing, sitting, and of course, eating! The ease also allows for a variety of styling options so you can easily tuck shirts and sweaters into the waist. The hem is asymmetrical and meant to hit below your knee on the left side and at the lower-to-mid calf on the right side. Adjust the length with the shorten/lengthen line on ALL the corresponding pattern pieces if needed.
