One day I was just surfing the web and happen to see this Donna
Karan Abstract-Print Pleated Skirt [http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446791620&site_refer=AFF001&mid=13816&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-Z42Nm8bUfEJIK6rMjwHdUQ&LScreativeid=1&LSlinkid=10&LSoid=347839].
I fell in love with this Skirt and wanted one for myself. But I cannot buy it
as it is too high in cost. So I searched a pattern for box pleat skirt and
found this lovely lady at http://wardrobedysfunction.blogspot.com/2014/07/wonderful-pleated-skirt-instructions.html.
I followed her instructions and made a skirt for myself. I altered the single
box pleat of the pattern to double box pleat because the Donna Karan Pleated
Skirt had double box pleats.
Follows the photos of
my journey in making the skirt.
Finished skirt:
Transferring the pattern to the fabric:
Inverted Pleats are stitched down from the waistband:
Invisible zipper attached:
Making and pining the double box pleats:
Sewn an invisible waist band and finished with a single stitch around the skirt to hold down the pleats.
