Averse is not a classic circle skirt. It has seams following the curves of the hips. The fabric falling from the hips creates the illusion of pleats and gives a wonderful movement to the skirt. The skirt is worn at the waist thanks to a curved waistband and closes with an invisible zip. You can choose between a knee length and a midi length (for a base height of 1.65m or 5’’5).
It comes in UK sizes 6 to 20, US sizes 2 to 16 and EU sizes 34 to 48.
The Averse skirt is an intermediate level pattern. It has an invisible zip closure and curvy seams. The fabric cutting part can be a bit tricky and requires a bit of experience manipulating fabric. A glossary is available on www.camimade.com/glossary.
Fabric suggestions: light to medium weight woven fabrics with a nice drape: viscose, modal (tencel), linen, cotton lawn, chambray, etc.
Avoid fabrics with directional prints, because the circle skirt being cut both crosswise and lengthwise will alter the direction of the print in several places.
Avoid knit fabrics.
The pictured samples are sewn in Tencel fabric.
Model measurements: waist 68cm (27 1/8“) - hips 91cm (35 ⅞") - 1.58m tall (5'2"). All samples are in size B.
