Another Megan Neilsen #VeronikaSkirt

I first made this pattern (Megan Nielsen's Veronika Skirt) back in September 2017. Not sure why I waited so long to make another as it's a simple make, it fits and is a useful piece to have in the wardrobe??


You may recongise this fabric - I made a Simplicy 1366 dress-hack out of it back in August 2017. I LOVED the fabric so much but actually never ever wore the dress as it just felt...off to me. I think it was the fabric - it works well as a skirt, but a 95% polyester dress #abortmission! I had also made that dress a fraction too long and just could not be bothered to rehem it.



Anyhoo - I wore this to work the day after I made it. I LOVED it and felt really great in it but a few colleagues didn't think so highly of it...so now I'm doubting it; and feel a bit too self-conscious about it to wear it to work again. I don't understand the problem as the fabric is so cool; and the shape is great. Does it look overly home-eccy because I didn't hem it? I guess that's a lesson that if you don't want to know the answer (do you like my skirt?) don't ask the question.
