Bubble Skirt with Suspenders

I’ve had this great deep plum fabric with a gold pin stripe for 6 years. I was thinking of making a fun leisure suit for Henry, but then I was inspired by one of my favorite designers to make a skirt instead. There is still enough for Henry too!

Inspiration

Do you remember reading those old-fashioned reading primers? Or any old book from the 60’s for that matter? The girls always wore cute full, short skirts with suspenders. I’ve always loved that. So when I saw Black Rabbit had re-created that design, I had to take a stab at it too!
