Doris Skirt Adult PDF Sewing Pattern

Based on our beloved Doris skirt for kids, in designing the Doris skirt for adults, we've stayed true to Doris fun, flirty signature style - a high-waisted cross over waistband & diagonal side seam. The Doris skirt is an incredible easy sew and true wardrobe staple - dress up for a girls night out, go business casual for work or head to the beach! Doris doesn't compromise on style or comfort - in fact, Doris makes for an amazing comfortable maternity skirt!

The Doris skirt is designed to be pulled on over the hips, with a comfortably body hugging fit. The short and knee length versions have a straight fit. The midi length skirt has a pencil skirt fit, with the side seams tapering inwards, creating a flattering look for all shapes and sizes! For the midi pencil skirt version, we've added an optional "walking vent" in the center back for more ease.

Techniques involved include sewing with knits, straight & curved seams, attaching ribbing, sewing corners and optionally working with decorative (piping) tape.
