Gored Trumpet Skirt

We are excited to introduce the gored trumpet skirt. This stylish skirt comes in two lengths: mini and midi. The gored design features panels, or "gores," that flare out towards the hem, creating a flattering silhouette that hugs the hips and thighs before flaring out at the bottom. Whether you're looking for a chic mini skirt for a night out or a sophisticated midi skirt for the office, the gored trumpet skirt is a versatile and trendy choice for any occasion.

When it comes to fabric choices, the options are endless for the gored trumpet skirt. This pattern looks fantastic in various woven fabrics such as printed plain weave cotton, linen, denim, or even a sleek satin for a more elegant look. For a casual everyday skirt, you might opt for a fun floral print cotton, while a solid color linen fabric is perfect for an island vacation. The key is to choose a fabric with enough body to hold the structure of the flared panels but with enough drape to create a beautiful silhouette. Experimenting with different fabrics will allow you to create unique versions of the gored trumpet skirt to suit your personal style.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, the gored trumpet skirt is a fun and rewarding project to take on. With its simple panel construction and flattering design, you'll enjoy sewing up this stylish skirt in no time. By choosing the length and fabric that best reflects your personal style, you can create a wardrobe staple that you'll love to wear again and again. Get ready to showcase your sewing skills and create a stunning gored trumpet skirt that will make you feel confident and stylish wherever you go!

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes 0-38 and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
