While watching "What Not to Wear", the stylists suggested in the summer to wear a cotton skirt as opposed to capri pants. The experts feel capri pants "chop" your legs. I thought I'd go with that thought and went to Kohl's department store to try on skirts. Kohl's had a clearance rack and cotton skirts were $5. Great deal! I tried on A-line skirts and I looked like a triangle! The skirts stuck out on the sides. I can understand a heavy twill sticking out, but the same effect happened with lighter weight cottons. I looked on the major pattern company web sites and I'm thinking a bias cut skirt might have a nicer appearance. What is the opinion of you expert sewers? What fabric would you suggest? I'm a substitute teacher in an elementary school that is not air conditioned. If history repeats itself, our Pennsylvania weather will turn hot and humid before the end of the school year.
