Go easy on me, but I want honesty, what do you think of my skirt?

[overmydeadbody]

Can I wear it out in public? Shall I make more of them? Does it make my bum look big?

My circle skirt

I like it, but I have no taste.

its lovely and well made - BUT i reckon a pencil skirt in the flowery fabric would be more bodenesq

aw thanks custy.

Pencil skirts scare me though, I'm not sure they flatter my body shape or messy appearance

agree with Custardo

Ok, so, tell me more about pencil skirts and what to wear with them. Shoes etc? and can I ride a bike in one?

Links to nice pencil skirts would be appreciated too, as all I can imagine is M&S black business-type pencil skirts.

I think it is cute but not with those tights and shoes - it's a summery thing, needs sandals and bare legs and a little white top.

Well done making it though - it's ages since I've made anything except curtains. Feel a bit inspired.

I really like it, especially with the blue legs.

I have only ever made one thing and it WAS a pencil skirt in a flowery fabric. It was in a sewing class and everybody else had tweed and the like.

I think you've got a lovely figure, so not sure how it would make your bum look big !

Personally I'm not keen - I like the spotty fabric, not so keen on the blue though & I'm bit put off because it's so flared (they look horrible on me, my problem I know!)

It's great you've made it though & I especially like the trim.

I agree with oldenoughtowearpurple bare legs, flat sandals and little summery top.

Oh and well done.

It is very pretty but needs to be worn with sandals and a plain white top. There are too many colours vying for attention there.

There is a woman at our school who wears wrap around apron skirts like this

Thanks for the comments!

Yes I agree, it needs bare legs, sandals and a little white top, and that will happen as soon as the weather warms up, I promise!

lovinthesun I know what you mean, the main reason I'm not sure about this skirt is the amount of fabric, I tihnk if I make another skirt like this I will make it a half circle rather than a full circle, it just adds bulkiness otherwise.

Actually I think circle skirts look best on little girls, but they seemed like the easiest skirt to make!

savoy I quite like that, and I'm not usually keen on wrap skirts!

Bulkiness depends on the fabric, imo. I had a lovely circle skirt in a really light cotton when I was younger.

Not sure about the skirt but I am very of your flat stomach

I think it's well cool! but I am accused of having no taste either. I am a definate believer in clothes that stand out. So maybe a good reason to avoid
And I must agree with KristinaM too!

LOVE the skirt (and whole outfit) on you! Also v of your legs & stomach.

Love it. If I wasn't so humongous it's the sort of thing I'd love to wear.

How many DCs have you got with a stomache like that? I love your skirt agree about bare legs and sandals - role on the summer!

Shoes wrong

Thanks SuperSal, hope I inspire others with my blog.

I had one child, eight years ago, if that makes it better!
