How to describe Madeline in just one word? Flowing. And sensual... Whoops, that’s two. It’s not a hard pattern to make, but you do have to be extra careful when you get started. The fabric is cut on the bias, making it stretchier. That’s exactly what gives it the perfect looking drape, but it's also what makes it harder to cut, pin, and work with. Have some patience though and you're sure to be rewarded with a gem of a skirt, in the length that you love the most.

Fabric advice

Madeline was made for silky satin. It has the right weight to create the perfect elegant drape. Don’t pick an overly thin or flimsy fabric because it won’t drape elegantly and will make any flaws stand out.
