I rarely obsess over any item of clothing, but to say I obsessed over Anthropologie's Patagonian skirt from last summer is an understatement. I have hounded this skirt on eBay approximately 2, 500 times this year, but nothing. Zilch. Nada. Zero. It must be the best, most comfortable skirt ever 'cuz no one is selling it. When I spotted this dress at the Gap Outlet, I finally saw my chance to own a version of this skirt...which to put it bluntly, is wildly awesome. HA.
Ok. I know maxi skirts are easy to find in the summer, but generally the best prints come in the form of dresses. Here's the tutorial in case you lovely dahlings want to refashion a similar dress into a comfy skirt.
Pattern recommendation to make your own (you'll have to lengthen): Butterick 5190
Pretty and casual chic! I need to get down to sewing a jersey skirt like this for myself one of these days.
ReplyDeleteAdorable as usual :)
ReplyDeleteAs are you!
DeleteNice! Potentially a much better use of the fabric(But as you know, I have a thing for stripey maxi skirts at the moment!). ;)
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out! Way better than the dres.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, and it looks super easy to do, too. And yeah, WAY better than the dress!
ReplyDeleteWell you're so super sweet to say so dear...=)
DeleteLove it! And, it looks awesome with that blouse!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Jcrew has a near identical copy of the patagonian skirt for sale online in the factory outlet, it even has the fun offset striped waistband. I recently picked it up with an extra 30% off sale coupon and have been loving it (I tried the anthro version and it was too long and tight for me).
ReplyDeleteWay cool to know. Wish I lived closer to a J.Crew outlet...or maybe it's best that I don't! =)
DeleteKristina has made another amazing piece!
ReplyDeleteI have a maxi that I've been meaning to turn in to a skirt. Thank you for posting this! Now I won't be doing it blindly :)

Oh wow this is such a lovely remake and I love the top you paired it with as well!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great DIY. I have been in search of a striped maxi and had not considered making my own. If only I had a sewing talent!

ReplyDeleteKristina, You are sooo ridiculously cute! I love this outfit. I think you dress exactly how I want to dress, i just never knew it! I think I will print out a ton of your outfits to take with me when I shop. Please don't think I'm creepy :) I just love how you put things together! You're so classy and you always seem to have an unexpected touch to your outfit! Love it!
