Why in the world have I waited this long to make a circle skirt? This thing makes me want to dance. All. The. Time. Ask my family…I may be driving them nuts as I swish around in this skirt. Some things you just never outgrow…and twirly skirts are one of them.
My Review:
Pattern: Newlook 6056
Fabric used: ‘Arabella’ polyester suiting in the hottest of hot pinks.
Instructions: Easy! Circle skirts are very easy to make.
Changes I made: The only change I made was putting in an invisible zipper right to the top of the waistband.
Repeat worthy? Yes! I already bought more of this fabric in another color! This will be another TNT pattern for me.

In these pictures I am wearing it with two different tops, I wore the sweater when I ran out to catch the sunshine for pictures but I actually wore the blouse when I went out for the day. I also think this skirt will look great with a pop of white for the summer. A neutral color like grey would be nice as well. Or if I dared…my hot yellow blouse! So many options to consider with Me Made May coming up.
I'd love to see this with yellow! I bet it would look amazing.
Oh my I just love this!! The colour & the sweep of the circle skirt are gorgeous! Oh and yes to wearing it with yellow!
Yep! Definitely pretty in pink! You can't not twirl in a circle skirt! I would love it with a pop of white this summer!
This is seriously your first circle skirt??? It looks so wonderful on you and yes to yellow as well.
More hot pink, More circle skirts! Frog demands it! I've never made a straight up circle skirt either and I'm not sure why. Maybe we both need a bunch for summer.
Yes it is! I can hardly believe it myself… I didn't think I would like this style on me so never bothered to try. Silly me.
Oooh-La-Laa! that whole outfit us just so adorable! You did a great job on that hem, esp for an artificial fiber! I can't believe that is Poly, it will hold its pizzazz so well.
I love hot pink, it is so flattering and so HOT this year, very Kate Spade!
It's perfect! I love the swish and swing. I too have never made a full circle skirt (I made a half circle many years ago and loved it, wore it til it fell apart) for fear it would not suit me. I might be tempted to give it a go, you look so good in yours! 🙂
I've never made a circle skirt but I've always loved the way they look on other people. I guess I should try one!
Your skirt is absolutely beautiful! and the twirl pictures are just stunning. I love the hot pink with the navy cardigan; really chic 🙂
This color burns my eyes. JK! Love it and love you my uber talented sista!
