Waterfall
This is a straight ‘waterfall motif’ skirt which can also be worn to keep your shoulders warm; so comfortable and soft pull-up, pull-on skirt. A statement garment, to dress-up or dress-down to fit your mood; warm and practical and utterly feminine.
Uncomplicated and effortless to make – a rhythmic pattern repeat that is soothing to work. Waterfall comes in 4 sizes, worked from hem to ribbed waistband.
I do suggest you block; wet thoroughly, lie out on a towel to dry naturally making sure to pull out to define shape. Practical or decorative elastic can be added for a firmer or supportive waist-band.
