I only had these two short pieces of the fashion fabric, each too short for a skirt by themselves. Additionally, two layers of this fabric into the waistband would have been way too thick.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-73069739243649046232011-07-28T21:20:05.697+08:002011-07-28T21:20:05.697+08:00I love the idea of leaving the extra fabric 'j...I love the idea of leaving the extra fabric 'just in case' and thank you for explaining how you take in the waist using the darts.<br /><br />I also loved your comment "I think we will probably both take good care to not wear our skirts at the same time!"

I like the layered look and the way Cassie has styled it.<br /> <br />Did you have two layers all the way to the waistband of that gorgeous fabric or did the bottom layer have a top hidden section out of another fabric?
