Just a quick post (following this one) to say that all night Friday I kept obsessing over the gathers. So Saturday, I took out the elastic and turned them into pleats in the front. First I tacked them down.
Then I stitched along my previous rows of stitches and got everything fixed into place. I reinserted the elastic in the back, so the skirt has some stretch to get up over my hips. I think it looks much better like this, cooler in the front and highlights the black panel, less poofy in the back over my already ample behind.
I wore it out on Saturday night with my boots and a twinset. (Oddly, I can't seem to find my black turtleneck sweater...)
And I'm still working on the pink shirts project, should have at least one finished to show you all this week.

The skirt pleats look great. It is funny how these things get inside your head isn't it and you have to do something about them? Good to see you are wearing it out as well. I really like the look and style of this skirt.
