As part of my foray into the Sewing Through the Decade Challenge, my first project was the pleated waist dirndl skirt with a border print (i'm looking at the mid-late 50s).
Here's the design:
Here is mine (no petticoats), with added pocket. Pocket = love.
And a version in plaid taffeta
These skirts are amazingly easy to sew, and I love swishing around in them so much! Really recommend making one if you've been thinking about it. Onto the next project challenge... the blouse!
