Description

The Danube Jean Skirt is a classic five-pocket jean-style skirt. The casual skirt has a slim fit and side slits that make you feel extra sexy. The waistband sits at your natural waist, so you can wear it all day long and feel super comfortable. Of course you can also make it in other bottom weight fabric. In fact, make several because the Danube Jean Skirt doesn’t go out of style, ever.

Pattern features:

• Slim fit straight skirt
• Side slits for walking ease and style
• Straight waistband that sits at natural waist
• Classic five pockets and fly-front zipper
• Back yokes for back shaping
• Optional rivets for reinforcement and as decoration

Choosing your Size

• Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• Compare your hip circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your hip. If you are between sizes, choose the bigger size. Because the skirt sits at the waist and has a slim fit, it is important that you measure your hip circumference correctly. If you have a protruding tummy, please refer to this article about how to accurately measure your hip: itch-to-stitch.com/hip.
• It’s OK to use different sizes for the waist and hip. See instructions for details.
• If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the skirt. See instructions for details.
• It is highly recommended that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabrics that have similar weight and stretch as your final garment fabrics.
