New skirt

My first post of 2016!!!  I made this skirt using a vintage Vogue pattern, view C.  

A follow ASG member brought a bag of patterns to our meeting.  This is one of the many I selected!  Not sure of the fabric content.  Fabric from Metro Textiles in NY.  Lining is a black silky habutai also purchased in NY. 

I love the fit and can wear this skirt with many tops.  I guess it's what you would call a "wardrobe staple." 
Check out the shoulders on those tops!!!! Reminds me of Crystal in Dynasty.
I love how it looks straight when I'm standing still.
I omitted the waistband and added a gross grain ribbon.  Check out my ribbon indicating the back of the skirt!

Crystal in Dynasty????? Chile some of these babies have to google that reference. I myself was a baby.....

But I adore the skirt. I love older patterns

And I like the Dallas look myself. Pam was fly all day long!

I have this pattern from years ago and enjoyed making the same view. This is one of my patterns that made the cut to move to CA.
