behold! skirt #4!
this is a damn-near perfect fit... because i didn't use *any* of the pattern's darts.
to begin with, i stitched up the whole skirt dartless. when i tried it on it fit pretty well, though just a bit loose in the waist. so i created my own custom darts, putting two small (1-inch) darts on either side of the zipper in the back. and that's it.
i might have been able to take the two darts to 1.5 inches each --the waist is still a tiny bit loose-- but overall the fit is spectacular.
now that i have the hang of it... LOOK OUT! there's no stopping me!
woo!
