1980's New Look 6471 Skirt made from a 1 metre of brushed cotton suiting. I sewed View B. Views B and C have a separate fold over waistband secured with a 2cm button, I use heavy interfacing for these and used a brass 15mm brass sew in snap, you can use trouser hooks too. View A has a facing instead of a waistband for a seamless look. View C has pockets, but I think the skirt looks interesting enough without them and I don't use them for practicality. I sewed a straight size 14, which fits the same as the current New Look patterns in my opinion. I shortened the front as I think it was either too long or the brushed cotton stretched? I lined it in pink satin, I used a modern New Look straight skirt pattern for that. There's a petal on my hood!
