KIRSTI is an easy-to-sew asymmetrical skirt with a beautiful silhouette featuring a side godet and pleats. You can make it in two lengths – mini or midi – or adjust the length to suit you. The skirt has a zip at the side and two darts at the back for a flattering shape that is effortless to wear.
As a zero-waste pattern, the cutting layout may look unconventional, but each piece is cleverly nested to eliminate waste, so there are no fabric scraps. To accommodate a wide range of sizes, the pattern pieces are arranged in rectangles, making them easy to place on your fabric.
