Garment Details: 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.
Sizing: This pattern is available in sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9): Choose your size based on your waist measurement. Add a recommended positive ease of approximately 3.9"/10cm at the waist so that the skirt sits on your lower waist/upper hip. For a high waist fit, we recommend less positive ease. Pick the size that is the best match for your waist.
In the photos, Esete is wearing the short version with 0.8"/2 cm positive ease around the waist. The length of the skirt has been shortened by 1.2"/3 cm.
Olga is wearing the long version with 4.3"/11 cm positive ease around the waist.
You can adjust the length to your personal preference.

Fabric Recommendations: Use medium-weight woven fabrics. Depending on the texture and weight of your fabric, you can achieve different effects: sculptural and three-dimensional, or swinging and flowing. You can also use interfacing to stabilize the waistband.
