Ladies' Skirt #0200 mock up complete

Wrong side waist view

You can see how important it is to check both sides and make sure the scallops are cut the same size and shape. Push the bias hard up against the raw edge and fold the points carefully, otherwise it will look uneven as this photo shows.
Much care and patience is needed (no short cuts here) ready for the final hand sewing, once you are sure its right.
Because the bias is a dramatic contrast in my mock up any inprecision will show and detract from the finished skirt.
The buttons will also emphasise your positioning imprecision if the detailing is not carefully done.
I have used thin cheap curtain cotton and recycled 1/4 inch bias binding for this mock up. Note how the bias bows away from the edge of scallop when its pinned. 


I have put together the mock up and put on my dress form below. Although just pinned in place, it shows the general idea and how my back pattern "extentions" have worked with the added darts.
  
Remember how the pattern's artists impression of the illustration is the wrong way round.


I am now thinking of what material to make this in - winter skirt for work to go with the next blouse pattern?  I will have the bias trim in the same material and use the row of buttons as the main feature.
