I made a pencil skirt for DD this evening - 25 mins from start to wearing (I'm quite proud of that)

Busy deconstructing/reconstructing a ballroom dress

& now DD has decided she doesn't like the skirt on the last Latin I made; so could I just change it please?

Any ideas? It's the second one pink/yellow on my profile

25 minutes is impressive!

Is the Latin skirt the shorter one? What doesn't she like about it?

Well it was only side seams hem & waistband so very easy in Lycra

Yes - I think she thinks the skirt is too wispy after the heavier top

There is soothing wrong with the skirt - maybe it should be more like the very top tier of the longer skirt? More net.

Something. Not soothing. Damn autocorrect :)

Or maybe it shouldn't' be straight along the bottom but echo the hem of the top part...?

I think that is what DD wants.....whether I can replicate it I'm not sure & I really don't want to cut the longer skirt

Can you get some netting the same as the pale colour on the dress and add a wavy layer?

Possibly, or cut strips of it and sort of tie them on/thread them through......you know you make a loop & pull the two tails through?

Possible new design on my profile (I hope)

I think that could work... but I'm not your DD :o

Well she likes it; I'm off to find fabric tomorrow....
