The Marilla skirt was inspired by the petticoat of the edwardian era and the 1970s prairie style tiered skirt. While it is the perfect beginner project, the pattern has all the details and finishing techniques that give a flawless and elegant look to an homemade garment. The useful side seams pockets add praticality to this romantic style. It also includes three variations : a non-elastic waistband (view a), an elastic back waistband (view b) and a back openning button placket.

The pattern was made to suit waist circumference from 62 cm (24,4 in) to 98 cm (38,6 in) and hip circumference from 86 cm (33,9 in) to 122 cm (48 in).
