Now, in its final version (except for hand-stitching the inner waistband down, I present to you the Bleistiftrock (pencil skirt)! The satin waistband (DD's idea) looks nice, even if the photo seems otherwise.
I'm highly pleased with the outcome, and it's also the first time I sewed in a nearly-invisible zipper, which was easier than I thought. Once you understand how to twist the zipper so it lies correctly on the right side of the fabric, then it's a quick few seams to success.
Things I can't believe about this skirt: DD likes it snug, this is a size 34. I'm wondering how she intends to walk in this thing. Maybe she'll put a slit in.
Also this adapted pattern goes together fast: from cutting fabric to formed skirt took about 5 hours.
