Cobalt Blue

Remember this bright pink skirt? I made it back in the spring from a floaty Arabella polyester. I loved the drape and feel of this fabric so much that when it went on sale I bought it in quite a few colors. Pink, black, navy, yellow and this cobalt blue! I always knew that I would make the blue into a half circle skirt and when I saw this skirt from ASOS, I was sure. 

I used Newlook 6056. I didn't make it a true midi skirt because I'm not sure the length would look good on me...but I kinda wish that I had tried it. If I had it over...

When you make something for yourself, do you take risks or do you for the most part play it safe?

360 Degrees of Hot Pink

Why in the world have I waited this long to make a circle skirt? This thing makes me want to dance. All. The. Time. Ask my family...I may be driving them nuts as I swish around in this skirt. Some things you just never outgrow...and twirly skirts are one of them. 

My Review: 

Pattern:  Newlook 6056

Fabric used: 'Arabella' polyester suiting in the hottest of hot pinks.

Instructions: Easy! Circle skirts are very easy to make.

Changes I made: The only change I made was putting in an invisible zipper right to the top of the waistband. 

Repeat worthy? Yes! I already bought more of this fabric in another color! This will be another TNT pattern for me.

Skirt: self-made Blouse: Banana Republic(thrifted) Shoes: Franco Sarto
Sweater: JCrew (thrifted)

In these pictures I am wearing it with two different tops, I wore the sweater when I ran out to catch the sunshine for pictures but I actually wore the blouse when I went out for the day. I also think this skirt will look great with a pop of white for the summer. A neutral color like grey would be nice as well. Or if I dared...my hot yellow blouse! So many options to consider with Me Made May coming up.
