I kind of want this skirt in my size. It's velveteen with a cotton/silk ruffle and binding. It swings and flares and it's satisfyingly heavy for this time of year.
Plus, it has a sparkly button.
(I'll add details on the pattern, etc., later. Right now I'm on my way to NYC! At Christmas! In the snow!!!)
Edited to add the details: Ottobre 4/2003, #27; grey velveteen from Farmhouse Fabrics; Robert Kaufman Radiance fabric for the ruffle from fabrics.com.
