"Put Out the Red Flare" skirt

Pattern: Simplicity 2257, view F

Fabric: Red batik with small white dots, 100% cotton
Lining: Stretch gauze, 96% polyester, 4% spandex
Notions: Zipper (red, 7" long), bias tape, piping, white scalloped lace (1.5" wide)

Completed: 28 May 2012
Time: 12 hours (not including washing time)

Comments: Fits at the just below the natural waist which is not where I like skirts to sit. I am also thinking about raising the hem of the skirt to show off more of the lace.  The zipper was not put in too well though you would probably need to have good eyes or look up close to see the imperfection. ...No serging.

Not the best of scale for height/length but I like the lighting and the top is just white fabric to contrast the red dress form and skirt.
