Beautiful fitting skirt

I’m a larger lady - size 28uk - and it’s really hard to find designs to fit my shape and size (I’m fuller round my hips and tum) but this skirt fits beautifully and the pattern instructions were easy to follow I’m a confident beginner doing clothing xx

Great pattern

Instructions were great, much better than other patterns I’ve tried!
I think Step 9 is wrong, I would think the front pocket (4) would be sewn to the right side of pocket lining (5) so when you open the pocket the right side of the fabric is visible.
Other than that I have no complaints!
My garment is not completely finished so I’m not sure how accurate sizing is but here’s to hoping.

Ellis ftw

I love the Ellis skirt - for a stretch denim it's perfect! The fit is great (I made the pear-shaped version) and the instructions are great. I even made a second skirt in a woven stretch fabric. Great pattern! :)

Ellis Skirt

Lovely pattern with a good fit. However found I struggled a bit with getting a neat finish on the zip, next time will try to complete the zip finish similar to my jeans patterns. Otherwise, great pattern.

Great pattern with thoughtful details

What a great pattern! I really appreciated the careful drafting of this pattern and design details including the darts below the yoke to get a really good fit. I made the shorter view and will definitely revisit the other view one day (soon!).
