Description

Introducing the Fiore Skirt, an elegant and sophisticated A-line skirt that sits beautifully at the waist, offering a perfect blend of graceful flare and subtle volume. Designed with beginners in mind, this pattern presents multiple delightful variations, making it a versatile wardrobe staple with endless styling possibilities.

Crafted in two lengths, either above or below the knee, the Fiore Skirt offers three captivating views. View A features a sleek and uncomplicated flared silhouette, enhanced by an invisible zipper discreetly placed at the back. View B takes a modern twist with an asymmetrical wrap design, accentuated by a single hip pocket, adding a touch of contemporary flair. For a charming vintage-inspired look, View C boasts a button-up front and showcases curved patch pockets that create a playful yet timeless aesthetic.

Recommended fabric

Crisp woven fabrics like linen, chambray, denim, twill, poplin, lightweight canvas and structured cotton.

Please note: Views A and B can also be made with drapier fabrics like viscose challis, tencel, or silk, but the patch pocket for View C should not be sewn with fluid fabrics.
