This comfy, drawstring skirt is being created to spec for Michaela of Glam Gals by AC Valor, LLC. The skirt measures 19" in length and will fall to mid knee. This skirt will be sewn from 2 vintage tees.
This design was inspired by my original painting, Cultured Coral, and previews are now available in the Catalog of Artwork
When I spoke with Diana about the fit and wearability of her skirt, she told me that all of her friends were loving it and that she felt very comfortable in it. She also noted that the colors were perfect for this fall season and that she was very much looking forward to the cooler weather so she could pair her skirt with a sweater, tights, and boots.
There are also some sample styles created from this design.
This comfy a-line skirt, roll top skirt was created for Peggy from 2 vintage tees. The design features a hidden drawstring that will allow Peggy to adjust the fit as she likes. The length of the skirt itself measures 23 inches. The roll top design will allow up to 4 inches of aditional length if she desires.
Once the wash test has been completed it will be on its way to Belgium in tomorrow's post. I'll be shipping USPS International Priority Mail and expect delivery in about 10 days.
I added two hearts, strung from under the waistband. As Peggy and I discussed, this adds more visual length and creates more focus on the character. The fear before was that it would be too much red. It's actually not too red so we're good.
She'll be going down for wash testing later this evening and will ship tomorrow.
Remember: You will want to hand wash the skirt in cold water.
Machine drying is fine on low heat. It will actually help to maintain
the fit and durability of the design. Iron only on the reverse and on
as low of a heat setting as possible. Just don't forget to protect your
ironing board by placing a piece of parchment paper between the skirt
and the board.
Serial Monogamy has left the building and is on her way to Peggy in Belgium. The Postal Worker reports that it will take 5 days to arrive in Belgium. The actual delivery time depends on the processes of that country.

This style is also available in Junior sizes and can be sewn to spec.
Please click the photo for details on this design.
Both designs are effective in acheiving the desired look so it becomes more a matter of personal preference. However the design on the left will detract more from the width and is a bit sleeker.
Sketches: 2
You can see a longer length, drawstring version of this design on my site. http://www.studio524.com/skirting_the_issue/gallery2/aline.jpg
Note to Mia:
Please let me know your feelings on this design, ASAP
*** I'm so anxious to get this started.
Margaux was the first to receive her skirt, a prototype of what would further develop into my new line of sustainable fashions, custom designed and hand-painted to order.
Her intital reaction and review of the skirt is what originally led me to launch a marketing test, of sorts. That test being the Skirting the Issue Contest.
Sandy was the winner of the contest and a skirt was sewn and painted to her specifications.
Further encouraged by all of your comments and reactions to the design and its processes, I launched the Conga Line experiment and a kind of product testing.
Kim was the first in the Conga Line to receive her skirt, followed closely by Cate. Kim's review can be found here
Denise's skirt was the first of the Curv-a-licious designs to be completed. I really enjoyed seeing this design come to life and more - to see it work in real life as it did in the sketches, adding length to her torso and effectively drawing attention away from the hip line. You can read what Denise had to say about her skirt here.
This comfy, convertible roll top skirt was sewn to spec for Elizabeth from Columbus, OH. It began as 2 vintage tees and was hand-painted as shown. Photos courtesy of DissolveGirl, herself. Read more...
