I crochet this skirt in week one of my Uk holiday. The buttons where taken from a Primark hair band. And the ribbon is decorative as well as also a way of holding the skirt Up/on.
How I made it?, by making a long panel(rectangle) thus the waist band. With enough gap to step in(hips always wider than waist) Then joined the edge to make the main part all in one piece. Round and round with the crochet.
I have not put in on the manniquin as I made it to fit me and she's an 8 so it would just fall off. Come winter i'll post a pic of me wearing my creation.
