    Love those art deco pockets and waist band. As for those dreaded zippers I will stand with you and say I too suck at zippers and I've been sewing for thirty years.❤😂

    Love the sassy back kick pleats. Also loved being reminded at the beauty of top stitiching.
    Tip on yur zippers-Because there is a slight bias on center back, add a strip of the lightest weight knit fusible interfacing along the stitch line (pink edges to prevent show thru)
    It might stablize the fabric hand just enough. (It also makes it much easier if you decide to try the curvier side seam for the zip too)

      I actually really like this advice. This makes sense and is doable,

      Thank You! ....I may be currently ripping out the waistband due to fit issues that I can no longer deny.

    Final project turned out nicely. Shorter skirt lengths look better on you.
    It took me a long time to get zippers right and that was because the way I was taught to do them was the worst possible way to do it.

      I love a skirt that hits right below my knee for visual aesthetics. however, I really like how it wears when it's around the calf length. 2024 goals, Master Closures.

    If it's any help, my research is showing zippers weren't hardly used in the 30's. They were still using hooks & eyes & buttons. Their closures and those of the Edwardians were Amazing! Merely a thought. Happy Hanukkah! 😊

      2024 goal is to master both hook and eye closures, and zippers. I want the finishing elements to become *chef kiss*. GOALS!!!!
