Skirt Challenge Inspiration: Summer Maxi Skirt

Hi Fashionistas:

It's May and I decided to jump into the summer skirt challenge! This is my second time working with chiffon. The first time I failed miserably, so it has taken me a long time to pick this type of fabric up again! This time around I took an online class on working with sheers. I'll include that information for you and also some tips and tricks  I picked up to make this project a success. Here is the back and side view: Here are some things I learned from this sewing project:
Here are some challenges I had with this project:
The skirt hit floor length with heels on, which is how I plan to wear it. I paired it with a white tee. Here are some pictures of the garment construction: This is the fabric I used. I hope you enjoyed this project!  I will see you in the month of June! Are you participating in the skirt challenge!? If so, please post your skirts on Instagram using #sewcoolskirts!

See you soon!
