I agree with several others, I think the lycra in the fabric made it too "bouncy" for the pleats to lie well.<br /><br />I had trouble with FFC charging me for back ordered fabric that never materialized, twice. They did not respond to any communication and I finally resorted to my credit card company to get the the second charge reversed - it was too late for me to contest the first charge by the time I did this. So watch the calendar carefully and document all your efforts at communicating with them. I no longer purchase from them.<br /><br />Lois KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-31215480150355869752010-05-12T22:33:21.533-04:002010-05-12T22:33:21.533-04:00Oh, what a lovely skirt!

I'm in the market for a pencil skirt pattern myself (if I don't just end up going the cheater route and drafting one) so thanks for doing all this research :) I think this cut looks great on you.<br /><br />By the by, what have you been doing differently with your hair lately?
