Closet Core Patterns - Fiore Skirt
About the Fiore Skirt
Part of Closet Core Patterns' Rome Collection, the Fiore Skirt is a chic, high-waisted A-line skirt with just the right amount of flare and volume. A beginner-friendly pattern with multiple variations, this elevated basic has tons of outfit potential.
Available in above or below the knee lengths, the Fiore Skirt has three views:
View A is a simple flared skirt with an invisible zipper at the back.
View B is an asymmetrical wrap skirt with single hip pocket.
The Fabric
All views of the Fiore skirt pattern can be made with crisp wovens such as linen, chambray, denim, twill, poplin, lightweight canvas, and structured cottons. Please note: Views A and B can also be made with drapier fabrics like rayon challis, tencel, or silk, but the patch pocket for View C should not be sewn with fluid fabrics.
