This was by far one of the easiest garments that I have ever made. There isn't even a zipper or hooks - just one button and the opening is cleverly hidden in the pleats. I usually don't wear skirts that are this full, but this thing was so fast and stress-free to make that I'm a complete dirndl convert now!

1958 dirndl skirt
I was having one of those "I have nothing cute to wear" days today, so I decided to make a new skirt to go with a sweater that I got for Christmas. I dug out this 1958 Simplicity playsuit pattern and some vintage plaid that I bought at an estate sale, and a few hours later... ta-da! I have cute skirtage! Woohoo!

Sweet! And since the pattern's so quick, you can make one for every season of the year, too!
Oh, I love it! You look really great in that style, especially with the sweater!
Please send me your address so I can ship the book you won. Thanks again!
