Simple Dimpled Green Skirt

Alright, maybe it has pleats, not dimples. I was just trying to rhyme.


When I got married, my bridesmaids got dresses from J. Crew, I ended up making one of the bridesmaid dresses, so J. Crew sent me a few yards of the fabric, a beautiful green cotton silk faille. I had some leftover, so decided to make a nice little Fall skirt with it.

Using a rectangle the size of my waist x 1.5, I made three inverted pleats on front:

Put two wider pleats on back, and closed the rectangle with a matching zipper:
**** Disclaimer: I am not fancy, nor do I know how to curl my hair. This is the result of wearing a sock bun for a couple days and then taking it out.

I put on a waistband, doubled over, the size of my waist. Side view:

Thoughts? Feelings? Suggestions?
