All the work of getting it to completion was well worth it! I'm sorry it's taken me a while to answer your question about where I got my rubber elastic. I purchased it through Lace Heaven online. While they got most of my order right, they did send the wrong swimsuit hook. I didn't bother returning it, since it was such a small thing, so I can't comment on how their return policy is, but shipping was really fast! Have a great week!MushyWearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298153126878457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-85918941693829953122012-09-16T23:53:27.627-04:002012-09-16T23:53:27.627-04:00The skirt looks very smart on you, but I am anothe...The skirt looks very smart on you, but I am another one wondering about the bikeability properties.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-85450440904991691242012-09-16T19:18:52.233-04:002012-09-16T19:18:52.233-04:00I love the back seaming on this.

There are some "slippery" knits available. The name eludes me, but I am thinking a tricot knit.

It really is my favourite skirt pattern of all times. I like that it is longer and demure for work but still form fitting enough to feel a little sexy. I love your top, too. So far I've only made winter versions but now I've seen yours with a summer top, I want to make it in summer weight fabric, too. I made it in non-stretch because I didn't actually bother to read the instructions!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-13942448472743662942012-09-14T23:50:54.007-04:002012-09-14T23:50:54.007-04:00Very flattering skirt!

Looking at yours, I'm inspired to try again in a lighter weight! As a fellow dc sewist I'll also share that I've found a good variety o stretch lining on the $2.97 table at g street in falls church. It's hit or miss, obviously, but as you mention it's so hard to find and you can't beat the price! The quality varies, but I think much of it is commercial quality, as i bought about 10 yards last time And it had a Ralph Lauren tag on it.
