As the name suggests, Closet Core Patterns design 'core' patterns for your wardrobe, i.e. a capsule wardrobe!
Part of our 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 a single hip pocket.
View C buttons up the front with curved patch pockets.
Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Sizes: 0-20 US sizing
Fabrics and Notions:
All views 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.
