Grey Cord Skirt

For this high waisted skirt, I used the Arielle skirt pattern from Tilly and the Buttons. The pattern came in two different lengths and I chose to make the longer version in a grey cord fabric. I found myself to be in between sizes and graded the pattern by connecting the side seams corresponding to my hip size to the waist of the next smaller size.

The long darts really did a wonderful job to create this flattering high waisted silhouette.

I am very happy with how these textured silver buttons look against the grey cord.
