Buy the Ness Skirt sewing pattern from Tilly and the Buttons. This straight skirt looks stylish year-round, paired with a tee in summer or a turtleneck in winter. Ness has a shaped waistband and curved back yoke for a great fit. Make a mini version, or a below-the-knee version with a centre front split. Denim-inspired details include a zip fly front, topstitched mock felled seams, belt loops, curved front pockets, and optional back patch pockets for stashing your essentials.
