Introducing the Calyx Skirt Pattern!
The Calyx skirt is an elastic waist skirt with a mini ruffle at the waist, princess seams, and gathers across the hips. There are two waistband width options for this pattern (1cm (3/8") or 2.5cm (1")) as well as the option to have one (or two!) drawstrings.
The original inspiration for the Calyx skirt was to create a cute wear-with-anything skirt that prioritized comfort and adjustability while being able to be sewn in a variety of lightweight fabrics.
The Calyx Skirt is offered in sizes XS-6XL. It is made with a straight stitch and serged seams, but can easily be sewn with french seams if you don't have access to a serger for clean finished seams.
The recommended sewing level for this pattern is Confident Beginner.
After 2 years of sewing this style myself and seeing it worn and loved by so many customers, I’m so excited to be able to share this style as a sewing pattern! I hope you enjoy sewing it as much as I do!
The Calyx Skirt pattern comes in sizes XS-6XL.

The Calyx Skirt works best with lightweight fabrics with a good drape. Some of my recommendations include cotton voile, cotton gauze, cotton lawn, light chambray, satin silk, silk charmeuse. You can view examples of different fabrics sewn up in the Fit and Fabric Library
The Calyx Skirt requires 1.4-2.8 meters (1.5-3 yards) depending on your size and the width of fabric you choose.
