Tuck into this one …
Lulu (no web site link, she called herself “your classic lazy lurker”) was nevertheless energetic enough to send me this … time will only tell if I’m energetic enough to sew it!
It’s proportioned for 1″ gingham, so that the tucks and pleats make solid bands, as you see here. I would absolutely get rid of that tacky black lace on the skirt, but, hey, YTMV (your tacky may vary).
I love it in black, but I would adore it in pink, or brown, or lawn green … even red, if you didn’t mind looking like a picnic. (And who really minds looking like a picnic?) You could even make it in blue, and then next Halloween you could be Dorothy, with minimal effort.
The pattern also says you can use 1″ stripes; I’m having trouble visualizing that, so I may have to make it just to see if my imagination is working. call it a diagnostic test!
