I decided I wanted/needed a navy skirt. A quick look in the fabric stash provided a navy linen/rayon blend. With the mix of weather here lately between hot and cool I thought I might try a longer length -- all of my spring and summer skirts are knee length. I used Butterick 4686 View D because I knew I wouldn't need to make any changes -- it's so nice sometimes to throw something on the cutting table and get cutting without any pattern modifications.
The skirt isn't hemmed in the photo because I couldn't decide after all whether I want this skirt long or short. It's more full than I expected. I think I'll go ahead and hem, then see if I like wearing it -- if not, I'll cut it off and rehem to the shorter length.

I love the shape of this skirt! It actually reminds me of the skirt pattern I used to make my 1931 skirt!
You're right, Debi...when I put it on last night for the photos I thought of some 30's skirts I had made in the past. The only difference is that instead of a waistband it has a yoke -- which is more comfortable lately on me.
