This skirt is a dud. Or it was. I made it for a client last year and ended up making a new one in order to get the fit right.<br />.<br />To my surprise it’s been a favorite this summer. On her, the skirt was too full. But on me, it’s perfect.<br />.<br />Now a year later, I have learned enough to see that the skirt wasn’t made incorrectly, but things like hem length and amount of fullness make the difference between a good and a GREAT skirt.<br />.<br />A year ago, the fact my client’s skirt needed remade was evidence of my failure as a designer. Now I can see that I was able to make my client a skirt that fit her smaller frame correctly.<br />.<br />And because of that skirt and dozens of others, I’ve developed my patterns for #theAMYskort to include 3 fullness variations per size and 8 lengths (not to mention the option of skirt vs split skirt or skort). That’s 48 variations of 1 pattern, BEFORE we even talk about the fabric of the skirt.<br />.<br />Some days I feel totally exhausted. 😅 But when I get dressed and pull on a skirt that makes me feel super confident I get so excited that I’m making progress towards my goal of giving women tools to build their confidence.<br />.<br />.<br />#MrsEmilyFashionAdvocate  #DebunkingTheFashionMyth
