Zippered Skirt

Zipper Pleated Skirt

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/zippered-skirt • Posted by MJ

Going to a convention a few years back I wanted a themed outfit shared with my character. I took two different colored fabrics. I picked my favorites, black and a wine color. I made strips at a desired length and width. I sewn the skirt together leaving it flat on the floor and then ironed the pleats making the black cover over the wine. Once the pleats were finished I hemmed and then pinned and attached the zippers so they zipped downwards creating it so when they are all zipped it would be completely black. Top band was placed having one zipper added to attached the skirt so it can be taken on and off. Just make sure zippers are pulled down when sitting so your not sitting on the zippers, lol can be a pain in the tush literally. Worn it for multiple occasions and still one of my favorite skirts :) The shirt, neck and cuffs were just a modified dress shirt. Corset was pre-bought :)
