I am Rachel, a 90s-inspired slit skirt. I am slightly flared and I have a slit that starts mid-thigh. I can be sewn in 3 lengths: midi, knee length and mini. I am fitted from the waist to the hips and I fasten with an invisible zip on the left side. I’m finished at the waist with a facing. For the mini version, you can decide to include the slit or not.
It’s up to you to wear me like in the 90s or to (re-)invent a style for today and tomorrow!
PAPER PATTERN
All seam allowances are included in the pattern.
The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.
The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
Size 36 to 46. See sizing guide below.
