Hello! The weather is perfect for all things flowery, isn't it.
Here is my contribution - my flower show skirt I made from a Liberty wool (Thorpe Lilstone, in a now discontinued colour way). I got the fabric as a remnant at the very end of the last bolt in the Liberty store, and the lining fabric (light grey) and a navy zip came out of my stash.

What event/occasion is it for
I wore it to the Chelsea Flower Show, and ended up quite literally in the show with my friend from America!

Pattern used (commercial or self-drafted, anything goes)
The pattern is entirely self-drafted, very simple just tapering out my basic skirt block by about 3-4cm at the hem and adding a really simple bound waist band. I didn't want anything too complicated since the fabric itself is so pretty.
A short description on how you made it/problems overcome/etc.
I wanted no back seam and a side zip, but because my piece of fabric was so small (only 75cm) I had to use a back seam anyway. I've put on a little weight since I made the block, so I moved it over to enlarge it, and toiled it using the lining. I wasn't quite as fat as i thought, so I then readjusted it a little narrower for the main fabric.
