Sandi,
I know your plaid McQueen skirt is an old post but I had to send you a comment. This turned out lovely! You’ve inspired me to give this a shot. I plan to start in 1/2 scale using the back grid side of some wrapping paper I use to make patterns with. The only change I plan to make is putting the front pleated panel off to the side. It looks like that’s what McQueen did in the photo. Even if he didn’t I like that idea. I will probably use a bright lining as well. I have a pretty navy blue and green plaid and think a green lining would be beautiful. A red lining for a red and navy (or black) would be stunning as well.
Did you make another one? Did you figure out how to make the front in one piece? That’s why I’m going to try using grid paper and doing it in 1/2 scale to start. I may make it with fabric in 1/4 scale just to be sure it all lines up.
Your line matching is absolutely perfect and looks like a very high end piece. I’d love to see one made using a nice quality piece of plaid wool if you did make it again.
Thanks for inspiring me to try something more than just a plain wrap belted plaid skirt!
