Evenly spaced box pleats give this planned skirt volume with a defined rhythm. A fitted waistband keeps the waist neat while the pleats open into a fuller vintage-inspired silhouette.
Design details
The planned design includes:
- Balanced box pleats arranged around the skirt
- Separate fitted waistband
- Side zipper opening positioned between the pleats
- Pleats intended to release below the waist for movement
Fabric ideas
Cotton poplin or a lightweight woven suiting may help the pleats hold their shape. Check pressing behaviour on a sample, especially when using a fabric with synthetic fibres.
Sewing notes
The key techniques are marking and folding the pleats accurately, securing the waist and inserting the zipper. Verify the pleat spacing and waist measurement before permanently stitching the waistband.
Try the planned skirt with a plain blouse so the pleated shape remains the focus.
