Many of you have asked about the skirt I was wearing. This is it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LC014CS-D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45421\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LC014CS-D-569x800.jpg\" alt=\"LC014CS-D\" width=\"569\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LC014CS-D-569x800.jpg 569w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LC014CS-D-196x275.jpg 196w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/LC014CS-D.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is such an easy style to sew and wear. The curved hem has sort of a tulip look, and it&#8217;s great for walking because it doesn&#8217;t flip all over the place the way a straight front wrap skirt does as you move. But the best part is that this skirt\u00a0 is really versatile and it includes pockets! I really like the hem facing, too. It&#8217;s a much easier, neater way to finish a hem like this.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern is great for warm weather and can be sewn from anything from poplin and sateen to double gauze. But it&#8217;s also great for cool weather and heavier fabrics. I&#8217;ve sewn it in men&#8217;s suitings (my favorite for this skirt) to heavy wool and double-faced fabrics and even wool crepe. One of my favorite versions of the skirt is the metallic jacquard version you&#8217;ll see below. I&#8217;ll also do a tutorial soon to show you how to line the skirt. It&#8217;s really easy to do and makes the skirt work perfectly with tights and semi-sheer fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkFront-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45594\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkFront-copy-580x657.jpg\" alt=\"CSStrollDarkFront-copy\" width=\"580\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkFront-copy-580x657.jpg 580w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkFront-copy-243x275.jpg 243w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkFront-copy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkSide-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45595\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkSide-copy-580x798.jpg\" alt=\"CSStrollDarkSide-copy\" width=\"580\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkSide-copy-580x798.jpg 580w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkSide-copy-200x275.jpg 200w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollDarkSide-copy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollGoldFront-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45596\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollGoldFront-copy-580x624.jpg\" alt=\"CSStrollGoldFront-copy\" width=\"580\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollGoldFront-copy-580x624.jpg 580w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollGoldFront-copy-256x275.jpg 256w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/CSStrollGoldFront-copy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The City Stroll Wrap Skirt is a flattering and versatile style that looks great with flats and sandals as well as boots.
