Enid Gilchrist pleated skirt, circa 1957

Hey Retro-Lovers!

I recently got a couple of Enid Gilchrist pattern books off Ebay, god that woman makes it look so easy...

Her pattern books basically show you how to draft a sloper, and then alter it in a million different ways to make a variety of dresses/outfits...

So here's my version of her 'Skirts which Flatter the Figure' pattern (and a copy for you!)

When I make this skirt again, i'd interface the waistband before attaching, and make the waist band a fraction shorter. Otherwise, I love it!

As always, lots of random stuff on my blog...
