This sewing pattern is for a fitted tight skirt with a shaped waistband.
The waistband is not a single straight piece. The front and back sections are shaped separately to follow the body line.
The zipper is placed at the center back, and side pockets are included for a more practical and detailed design.
The pattern includes cut lines for adjusting the skirt length, so you can change the finished length to match your design.
This pattern can be used for everyday wear or as a base pattern for cosplay costumes.
After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, join them together, and cut out the pattern pieces. Seam allowances are included, so you can use the pattern as-is.
