I have been interested in working with an authentic Liberty print for some time. I ordered this fabric from EOS and if you have not worked with a Liberty print
( and I am assuming most good quality lawn) it was like working with butter. Drape, fluid, beautiful fabric.
Now, for the print.
This is my first and last Liberty for this season. I love black, and this fabric really was out of the box, but a little bit of it goes a lonnngggg way. A straight skirt might have suited the print better, but I really want to wear it with my friend Black, and very casual and to heck with it, a little swing for the spring....ha ha.
I used a basic pattern block, gathered skirt, above the knee, lined with bemberg. I have some fabric left over and offered it to my girls, which based on one reaction........"would look great as a vintage tea pot". Oh well. I like it.
I love it! I can so see you wearing this skirt. My daughter would reject this print too. Whatsa matter with our girls?!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging. I haven't been blogging that much either. Great outfit to get the mojo going again.

ReplyDeleteYou should like it! It's a beautiful skirt! I'm jealous though because my Liberty fabric from EOS is just sittin and will probably sit until June or July.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Especially paired with the black; it takes the edge off its sweetness. Oh, and Liberty is so wonderful (and entirely too expensive for me...)!
ReplyDeleteWonderful skirt. That beautiful Liberty print is just right for that style. It looks great teamed with the black shirt, I love it!
ReplyDeleteOooh, very chic with the black blouse! You had me at "butter"...
ReplyDeleteThat's an adorable skirt. I love the print with the simple black shirt!
ReplyDeleteHello, this is a lovely skirt! I love the print very much. BTW I've sent you a mail at Flickr. Please check it whenever you have a time, thank you!
