About the Droma Skirt
The Droma Skirt is a midi length skirt with an A-line shape which features a deep hem facing, elastic waist, inseam pockets, and back darts to reduce back-waist bulk. The pattern is specifically designed for larger bodies and is a versatile addition to your pattern (and actual!) wardrobe.
The Droma can be sewn in a variety of fabrics from a cozy wool suiting to a flowy tencel so you can wear it all year round (something we like to keep in mind as one of us is heading in to summer and the other in to winter).
It’s a perfect skill builder project as well as being the skirt you’ll want to wear again and again. Learn a neat method for sewing inseam pockets that won’t flap around as well as lowstakes versions of darts and hem facings.
Fabrics for your Droma
This pattern is designed for use with a wide variety of light-medium weight woven (non-stretch) fabrics. We suggest light-medium weight linen, cotton lawn, cotton poplin/shirting, cotton sateen, lightweight cotton drill, silk noil, tencel twill, light-medium weight wool suitings, cupro, medium weight viscose/viscose blends, or rayon/rayon blends.
Due to the elastic waistband, keep in mind that very thick or bulky fabrics might not be a good choice for this pattern if it will cause difficulties with your elastic.
Above left-to-right, patterned cotton/linen, a 6oz lightweight black cotton twill, white 85gsm washer cotton, and mid-weight cotton/linen check.
