Andrea says, "Stories start way before you see the outcome. This project started a year ago. Finally, here you are, the Rainbow skirt inspired by a Zimmermann design I found on Farfetch (2021).
All the linens were very easy to work with. Warning: If you don't like wrinkles, a gathered linen skirt is not for you. The gathers took very nicely and sewed up relatively evenly as I had hoped. There are places where you would need to support the edges. I caution you, however, against too much stay tape. The taped edges on my skirt created more stiffness than I wanted and caused the gathers to not take in evenly as with all the other tiers." Thanks, Andrea!
