Pattern Puzzle - Homage to Charles James 1950

A huge thanks for the fabulous effort from everyone over the weekend to solve this strange #PatternPuzzle.   This week we featured three pattern pieces as part of a garment, rather than the usual all-in-one pattern piece.  The diagram below shows how these different shapes sew together to make a panelled yoke in an evening skirt. 


You'll find all the pattern making instructions on the website blog.

  2. Lovely skirt! I recently bought a Charles James skirt pattern on Ebay, but it's nowhere near as elaborate as this.
