A Vintagely Modern Skirt

One thing that I LOVE to sew is something vintage mixed with a modern twist.  And this skirt is just the ticket....

I based it on a skirt that I pinned months ago. What a fun modern color-blocked skirt was my first thought when I pinned it.  But when I examined a couple of the close-up pictures I realized that it really was a total throw-back full gathered skirt from the 1950's that I put on dresses all the time.

Here is the original skirt from Elias and Grace...

I absolutely love how this skirt can look like a modern cute skirt, and then by simply adding a pettiskirt under it...it immediately goes straight back to a lovely era of fashion, especially for little girls.

And, here is my version....

And here's how I made them....

I made all three of these skirts for a girls size 5/6 so you might have to adjust a bit for different sizes, but I promise it's easy and doable.  I did give you how I figured out the measurements for each below.

Thanks Kelly, I can't wait to see all the skirt inspiration out there.  They are always some of my favorite things to sew!
