Well..that was a flop :(

I made the *my favorite things* skirt and it doesn't fit
I don't think this *style* is for me

It's really an EASY pattern, doesn't take long at all to put together. I used *cheap* fabric but still! I tried tightening the elastic in the back, and it looks awful

the sizing on the pattern is aweful. make a smaller one. It is better when you don't have to over tighten the elastic, which makes the back too gathered.

ooolala, you skinny thing.lol. I guess you'll have to cut it down or sell it. Btw, I remember measuring myself for that pattern and out of curiosity i measured my thigh- to see which size skirt would fit- the smallest size would have been to small lol. the skirt would have also been to small for my friend's 5 yr old dd.
hmmm, I wounder if you could remove one of the gores? Or you could trash it lol. Sell it to someone who is a size 10- they will be thrilled to fit into a size 4 pattern.

That stinks! At least you didn't use your favorite fabric though!
