Thanks for your thoughts! I am happy with how this has turned out, though after three wears I'm starting to see there's a spot where just a bit of ease would have helped if there had been extra fabric. Hey-ho, it's a basically free skirt I had fun making.

My next project *is* one of those where the pattern layout is very crammed, and I need to lengthen in the back for my tall wife, and the fabric amount is the fabric amount. So geometry brain will have to be in play... stay tuned for progress.
