The Assembly Line - Balloon Skirt
About the Balloon Skirt
The Balloon Skirt is a midi-length skirt featuring a flared silhouette, a straight waistband, a concealed zip closure at the back, and side seam pockets. Designed for versatility, this skirt offers two style options: with or without the distinctive balloon effect.
For the style shown in the photos, TAL paired the skirt with the top from the free Pyjamas pattern in TAS webshop, modifying it by shortening the sleeves.
One pattern comes with all sizes: XS–3XL
The Fabrics
Light to medium-weight fabrics are ideal. The balloon option works best in a fabric with some structure to hold the balloon shape, while the skirt without the balloon looks beautiful in a fabric with drape.
