#BUILDINGYOURWARDROBE: A pencil skirt is always a good choice! [Pattern Review]

OK so since I know you have been following me, you know about the six week "Building Your Wardrobe " series. Myself along with five other bloggers have each been given a staple garment to present to you, to consider for your wardrobe. We are stylin' and profiling and you can do the same! The lead blogger for this week 4 addition to the series is none other than my Boo Ruqayyah at ReDpants Designs [Ruqayyah and I go waaaayyy back, we were competitors in the  first annual "Rippin' Ain't Easy" sewing competition.] She made a long pencil skirt  that you do not want to miss. So click your way over to her blog to check it out....after you have finished here of course! 

I present to you my version of this pattern along with a classic white shirt[retail] and a DIY Big Bow tie to make this outfit proper........Mori says she looks like a school teacher. Also the shoes were another DIY that I did and you can find those HERE.

    1. Hi Jen, The fabric is Black Taffeta. That skirt was self drafted so I do not have a pattern that I can share with you but if you take a maxi skirt pattern the base is fitted and I sewed the layers on one at a time going down the skirt. Good luck. The link to that post is here: http://www.thatblackchic.com/2015/06/a-red-carpet-affair-in-black.html
