I finished making McCall 3968--a terrific skirt pattern from 1940. Even though there were no directions with the pattern pieces, it went together like a breeze. I made it with the leftover lightweight wool I had from my trousers. I LOVE it!
Here I am wearing it with the ruffled blouse I also made:
And here with my ness shoes, bag and jacket (and refashioned 1940's hat with Ness fabric trim):
I love this jacket and the skirt goes perfectly with it!
I love six-gored skirts--they flare ever so slightly at the hem:
Here's the pattern envelope so you can see the skirt pattern again:
I'm very happy with my new skirt!!
