Inky said:A dress in April AND a skirt in May - that's a record for me
McCalls 4718 (1942) 12-gore skirt in a 100% cotton. I did make the wide waistband with the belt loops but it turned out a bit loose. I probably won't bother altering it, just wear it with a wide belt as in the picture.

Kamikat the butterfly print is awesome.
I finally had enough practice in to attempt a vintage pattern. No resizing, I risked using it as it was (a 30 bust) because it was a wrap, and it doesn't have to fit my shoulders (which are a mile wide). The pattern is all spirographs, and I have enough left over to make at least a shirt!
It's supposed to have double-fold bias tape around the neck, but I can't get it to follow the curves of the shoulder ties. Any suggestions on what to use instead? The curve is quite sharp, and I don't want to use a million little pieces of tape...

I love it!
