Exude confidence with the Elmwood Skirt! The Elmwood is a sleek woven (or stretch woven) pencil skirt designed for curves with hip-hugging side seams, back darts, and a curved waistband.
View A is knee-length with a back slit and front angular pockets that stay flat when you sit, while View B hits above the knee with no pockets. Featuring a full lining and invisible center back zipper, the Elmwood is the sophisticated (yet simple to sew) skirt your wardrobe has been waiting for.
This Cashmerette pattern includes:
- A which will tell you exactly which size to make
- A free that you can watch anytime
- A beautifully illustrated and detailed instruction booklet, to guide you no matter your sewing level
