Little Bow Pleat Wrap Skirt
The little bow pleat skirt is a wrap skirt with angled asymmetrical front pleats. It has a fitted back skirt with 6 darts for a tailored backside. These darts in the back can also be made into pleats or gathers. The skirt has a 1 inch waistband with an optional bow. The closure on this skirt are two pant hook and eyes. This skirt is a fun and stylish addition to your wardrobe that is perfect for various occasions. One of the exciting features of this pattern are the pleats, which add a touch of sophistication to the design. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced sewer, this project offers something new to learn and master.
The little bow pleat skirt can be made from structured fabrics like taffeta, which will give it a more formal and elegant look or you can opt for light, flowy fabrics like rayon challis for a breezy and effortless look. By experimenting with various fabric options, you can customize the skirt to suit your personal style. This versatility allows you to have fun with different fabrics for different occasions.
What makes this little bow pleat skirt even more exciting is the focus on high-end finishes. You won't need a serger for this skirt! We will be adding french seams and bias facings for finishes. These sewing techniques will elevate the overall look and feel of the garment. By paying attention to these finishing touches, you will take your sewing skills to the next level and gain confidence in tackling more advanced projects in the future. Get ready to enjoy the process of creating a beautiful little bow pleat skirt that reflects your unique style!
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.
