Pattern Puzzle - Dior Draped Skirt

This treasure was discovered in the archives the The Metropolitan Museum along with thousands of other beautiful pieces.  Much to my surprise I discovered that it is a fairly recent design by John Galliano for The House of Dior in 1998.

For this puzzle the focus is on the skirt and not the tailored halter neck top.  The combination of the well organised waterfall drape at the back of the skirt and the cowl drape in the front of the skirt was fascinating to me.  


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

      Hi. Not sure what you mean? The second picture is the pattern shape for the skirt from the puzzle. Maybe you could send more detail about your question? Thx

      Hi There. Thanks for coming by the blog. At the moment I am making detailed pattern and sewing instructions for a few of the very popular posts. When they are ready I will release them through the blog and website.

      So if you follow here or subscribe to the website you will be the first to hear. Fortunately this skirt style is high on the popular list and will definitely get a detailed make over soon. :)

      Wow thanks! At my high school's annual fashion show a couple of students made these skirts (exactly looking like the original!) (probably by using this pattern) and I was very impressed! I will happily wait :) thank you so much! Will it be coming very soon or in a few months?

      More like the next few months. There are so many popular posts to add detail too. Luckily this one is close to the top of the list.
      That's amazing about the school fashion show. :) Do you think they would let me have some photos. They'd be great for our Facebook page.

      Thanks so much for the link. I think they have made a wonderful job of the skirts. And i love the fact they happily wore the skirt back the front and it looked great. I would like to share these four photos on Facebook. Who should I contact at the school to get permission?

    Thank you for this link! I'm glad I saw these pictures; the back of this skort should be quite a bit longer to my taste.

      Hi Anne-Marieke, thanks for dropping by. I agree about the length at the back - a little revealing. Looks good when they flip it around to the front. :)
