The skirt will never be as white as here. I just used the skirt pattern as a guide because L is so slim built that skirts with a fixed waistband always slip of her hips. So even though I made it much shorter and took it in from the get go, I still had to take it in about 2″ more on one of the side seams to make it fit her. It’s cute though and I really enjoyed the button closure. The buttons are from the crafty thrift store Knitten Kitten here in portland. Great, cheap finds, and the buttons were in a big bag of 2nd hand once.
