You know I'm obsessed with Megan Nielsen patterns. Maybe because she's my favorite client, or maybe because she makes kick-trash patterns that are modern, simple and on-trend. Maybe both.
I tested out her cascade skirt pattern months ago, and I've been so anxious to share it with you. Now that her collection is released, I want to show it off!! I made it out of a purple heather knit (this will be the pantone of the year next year, I'm convinced), and I LOVE the drape, texture and fit.
I was a little hesitant to try a wrap skirt pattern, but I loved the technical drawing so much I couldn't resist.
See, one of the first skirts I ever made was a wrap floral skirt, with the help of my mom. I liked it and hated it. Any time a gust of wind came, there my panties were to say hello. And I live in a fairly windy spot, on top of a mountain. I didn't want to go to the trouble of making an awesome skirt that I could only wear on "special" (aka non-windy) occasions. But I did it anyway.
I'm glad I used a soft jersey here, the jersey tends to
stick to itself to conceal not-cute mom undies.
I totes feel like a salsa dancer or something in this skirt.
I wore just about this exact outfit at Alt Summit earlier this year (minus the shoes and plus a blazer). I felt so fancy and comfortable at the same time.
