I’m so thrilled to bring you our free circle skirt pattern. Available in sizes 2-34, it’s a fabulous separate, or works interchangeably with our Liz and Lamour dresses for a little extra glamour. It also looks great with our Corset Belt, available on Patreon, if you’re looking for a last minute DIY Halloween costume (Princess Aurora, anyone?)
Don’t forget to watch the YouTube video for a start-to-finish tutorial on sewing this project.
