Has anyone made these skirts ?  I am planning to make the shorter version. Thanks in advance.

Thanks  @Ohsewsimple  , the only review I saw was the  Pattern Review one which wasn't  very encouraging. The description "loose fitting" rather  put me off, I woul have thought  it should  fit over the hips. I'll what I can do with it... or not.

@Silver Rose It does look loose on the model but a lovely pattern none the less.  Looking forward to seeing it finished  :D
As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

I don’t think a loose fit would be a problem.  As long as the waist is a good fit. Depends how much ease but could be as little as 4 or as much as 6 inches.
