Ask your little girl what her favorite piece of clothing is. More likely than not her answer will be that it is a dress or a skirt, and she may also add the word ‘fancy’ to her description.

Little Eavan is a gathered skirt worked in timeles chevron, creating a statement piece suitable for any special occasion in your life.

Inspired by my little ones and their love for dreaming about dancing, twirling and royal balls, Little Eavan is part three of my lacy skirt series Girly World.

Please note, an underskirt is necessary for this skirt. Little Eavan skirt can be worn over a store bought skirt, petticoat or tutu skirt. There is also the option to knit an underskirt layer in a contrasting color.
