This free sewing pattern is for a structured culotte skirt with a fitted waistband and zipper closure, offering a more tailored look compared to simple elastic-waist versions.
Commonly seen in cosplay costumes, this culotte skirt design has a wider hem circumference, creating a stylish silhouette with gentle movement. For the best drape, use fabrics with a soft, flowing quality, or adjust the pattern to suit your desired style.
The choice of fabric greatly affects the final look and feel. Lightweight materials such as rayon, crepe, or soft cotton blends will produce a smoother drape, while fabrics that are too stiff may result in a bulky appearance.
This pattern is perfect for intermediate sewists looking to expand their skills beyond beginner projects, as it includes zipper installation and precise waistband construction.
After printing, align and paste the pages along the matching lines, then cut along the pattern. Seam allowances are already included, so you can begin sewing immediately.
