inspired by the gorgeous giupure lace dress by self portrait, as seen on miranda kerr, maisie williams and many more stars, i decided to make my own 2-piece version recently, but this time around i wanted to share with you what i made with the 70 cm x 35 cm remnant - the lace was too beautiful to just discard...so i made a simple little peekaboo pencil skirt!
here's how i did it - first i selected a pencil skirt that fits me perfectly, then i folded my lace remnant in half and lay it down flat, and traced the shape of my skirt onto the lace. since i didnt have much lace to work with, i barely had any room to spare...but i made it work ;)
next, i trimmed the sides accordingly, then i traced a similar pattern on a nude lining fabric which i decided to make 4 inches shorter than the lace to give it a peekaboo affect. finally, i sew the sides together with the lining and added a hidden zipper as well as a hook & eye on the left...and there you have it, a simple pencil skirt without darts on the back so i can have a clean, seamless look.
voila! all done :)
for a toned down, casual look i paired the delicate (yet commanding) lace skirt with a simple white button down shirt from gap and finished the look with my trusty & comfy christian louboutin wedges.
