I've had a hard time finding the perfect, simple way to create dance wrap skirts and this pattern/tutorial was perfect! I shortened the length to 20" and it was exactly what I had envisioned. Just finished my first one this week and as a newer seamstress it made me feel confident and excited to see a project take shape. Thanks for sharing!
Aw, that makes me so happy Kaitlyn! I'm so glad you found it useful and were able to make something that you love! Thanks so much for sharing this with me! 😊
Oh my gosh. I love this video SO much Lauren!! I am planning on working on sewing in the month of July, and I am totally making this skirt!!! I am adoring alllll of this sewing content!!
I like watching your videos while sewing. Right now I'm working on a dress inspired by the Glam meets glam Bette dress with inverted pleats. I love that kind of pleats, this is my second dress inspired in that dress with modified sleeves. But in this one I'm working right now I'm using piping trim with a collar and buttons on the top part and long sleeves. It took me 2 days to make the pattern to figured out the pleats but once you have the pattern is easy to make any changes and design it the way you want it
Constructive criticism here. I was happy to hear you were drafting a pattern that would be great for the beginner sewer. I think you explain and present pictures very well, however. It was entirely too fast. I hated to rewind constantly. What is the rush?
Lauren, this is super adorable! I am motivated to make this as well. It seems to be relatively simple comparing to some other tutorial😝can I ask how many yards of fabric you purchased? I have same measurements as you. Thank you!
I’m a curvy girl so I will probably need some darts in my skirt. Also, just a suggestion, some interfacing in the waistband especially where the button and buttonhole are located might be good if you tend to pop buttons. 😂 I’ve learned the hard way.
Do you have trouble with the skirt flying open or coming open when sitting? I want to give it a try but I'm nervous it will fly open like other wrap skirt I've had. Thanks!
Hi courtney, I figured out how u got the shorter length measurement for the tie but since my length of skirt is fairly longer, making it 38’’ my short tie ends up being quite short at 6’’? Am i doing something wrong? Is that length okay?
Hi Courtney! I just made sure that the short tie was equal to the length that the long one extends past the edge of the skirt, and then added a seam allowance so that I could attach it to the skirt. I hope this helps!
Hi Julia, you should be able to swap in cm since it's just proportions. I would swap in 2cm for the seam allowance number instead of 1 inch, and 2cm for the ease number. Then you can just sew your seams with a 1cm seam allowance. Hope this helps-- thank you for watching!
Do the two front sections need to be mirror images of each other? I’ve cut both of mine out the same but now can’t assemble my skirt. Can’t work out if I’m being stupid at that or if I was stupid in following the pattern 🤦♀️
i like the simplicity of this skirt, however you are talking and moving way too fast to follow your instructions. I have to keep re-playing the video and it's still not completely clear.
A bit annoying that you can’t just go create your own pattern and not complain about someone trying to help you...grow up and convert the numbers like a normal person would do. No one owes you anything.
The best one who explained this skirt
Your tutorials are the most straight forward and clear that I've seen on the same topics. Thank you!
Thank you so much Ellen!! 💗
I love this skirt! It's so interesting to see you design your own patterns. You make it seem so do-able!
Thank you so much Pat! I'm hoping to share more pattern making in the future as I learn more!

Thank you! this is the best tutorial I’ve seen that made very clear how the waistband was made. I was so confused until I saw this~
Wonderful, I'm so glad you found it helpful!! Thank you so much for watching!
Love me some good “fashion math”☺️ This skirt is such a fun summer classic and I’m in love with that citrus print!
Haha, thanks so much Madison! Fashion math is my favorite kind of math! :D
Got overwhelmed with how fast you went with the math!
Sorry about that! Each calculation is listed in the description box if that helps at all. Thanks for watching my video! 💗
Oh my gosh. I love this video SO much Lauren!! I am planning on working on sewing in the month of July, and I am totally making this skirt!!! I am adoring alllll of this sewing content!!

Slow the video down 🤗 I have to do that all the time
So neat. Finishes are done well.
Thank you!
Some people are good at instructing... you among them.
Beautifully done. Great job!
Thank you so much Cindy!
Lauren, this is super adorable! I am motivated to make this as well. It seems to be relatively simple comparing to some other tutorial😝can I ask how many yards of fabric you purchased? I have same measurements as you. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I hope you are able to give it a try! I had three yards of fabric, but it only used two!
Lauren Johnson thanks for letting me know! I will certainly give it a try!
🙏 Great detailing Thank U. Teacher 🥰🥰I learnt more detailing. Thank You 🙏 Keep You Nd Your L♥️ved Ones Safe .
super cute!
Thank you Amanda! 💗💗
Love your video!!
Thanks so much Nancy!

Great tips, thank you so much for sharing! I want to try a version with darts!
Thank you .
Your instructions are clear yup to the point of you accommodation for the hip. Where is that number coming from. How do I come up with that number
Hey there! Here’s the calculation: Hip measurement + 1 inch of ease ÷ 2 + 1 inch for seam allowances. Thanks so much for watching!
How much fabric did you use?
Ohh that's some important information, thank you for asking! I had 3 yards, but it only took 2!
Tried this and the waist doesn’t lie right. I think maybe curving the cut might have helped for my figure anyway.
for the waistband - multiply by two or three? You said 3, but it looks like you did 2.
Any chance you will be making print or PDF patterns for purchase?
Definitely something I'm working on, but no set time frame yet! Thanks so much for watching!
Loved your video!! Really gave me a good visual! How many yards would you recommend? I have similar measurements to you. Would 3 years work?
Thank you so much Jenn! I'm so glad! I had three yards of fabric, and had some leftover at the end!
Hi did you include hip measurement in your front pieces or just the back, thanks.
Do you have trouble with the skirt flying open or coming open when sitting? I want to give it a try but I'm nervous it will fly open like other wrap skirt I've had. Thanks!
Hi courtney, I figured out how u got the shorter length measurement for the tie but since my length of skirt is fairly longer, making it 38’’ my short tie ends up being quite short at 6’’? Am i doing something wrong? Is that length okay?
Where did you get the measurement for the additional tied piece for 17.5 inches? Slightly confused sorry x
How much fabric did you need? I have a yard of fabric that I’ve been holding onto forever, and I’m trying to figure out the perfect skirt to make
Hi Brooke! I think I had two yards when I made this skirt, so I think you'd need a length adjustment to fit it into smaller yardage. Hope this helps!
How do you know what the length should be of the additional waistband tie piece? I understand the longer ones measurement x
Hi Courtney! I just made sure that the short tie was equal to the length that the long one extends past the edge of the skirt, and then added a seam allowance so that I could attach it to the skirt. I hope this helps!
Bişey anlamadım lütfen Türkçe altyazılı olsun lütfen dikkate alırmısınız.
How much negative ease should I calculate if I wanted to use a knit?
So I ended up taking off quite a bit for the knit, I just made it, then kept taking in the seams. Used snaps instead of buttons.
Do your calculations also work when using cm?
Hi Julia, you should be able to swap in cm since it's just proportions. I would swap in 2cm for the seam allowance number instead of 1 inch, and 2cm for the ease number. Then you can just sew your seams with a 1cm seam allowance. Hope this helps-- thank you for watching!
Thanks so much! That helped a bunch :)
Can i add ruffels in this design
Ruffles would look lovely around the edge!
Way too quick. And why do you see wrong sides together?
can someone tell me the name of the fabric she used 🥺❣❣
Hi there! Its rayon challis from Rifle Paper Co! The print is called Citrus Blossom Orange. I hope this helps! :)
@@LaurenJohnson it did thank u so muuch ❣❣

Honestly. You speak too fast. I can’t follow you. Even when I pause and begin again
A bit annoying that all the measurements are in inches.

@@TheSongBirdRainStar the whole world uses metric lol.
