Here is my first Butterick 5285. I don't think it will be my last. This is the swishy, but unbulky skirt I've been looking for! I like the recent trend to full skirts, but a gathered skirt just isn't my best look. I'm a bit thick through the middle after two kids, and I like my tummy as streamlined as possible.
Did I mention I got a pretty serious hair chop?
I also like how the large pleats let you use a large panel of fabric, which is perfect for a large print like this.
The fabric is a linen from Sawyer Brook, but it's sold out now.
Showing you the waistband - it's just a narrow, straight band.
The pattern called for a big hook/bar closure at the waistband, but I couldn't find one and was impatient, as usual, so I popped on a nice button. I LOVE how the pleats cover up the zipper area and match the front.

Love the haircut and the skirt works well on you. Great result.
You look fantastic in this outfit. Tummy? What tummy?
The haircut looks perfect for summer. Dunno about you guys in FL, but we are melting up here in MA.
Happy Woyww,

I LOVE this! I really need to hem the full skirt I made two months ago. Who knew I was on trend, certainly not me :-) I just figured it would be a good kid-chasing cut, not too short or too prone to riding up.
Love the skirt and the haircut!
I want to soak your panties with cum
