Apart from the petticoat, this is the first Lolita skirt I have made. I was really paranoid and worried that I stuffed it up, but it seems to look ok for a first attempt.

Many thanks to my darling Jaffa for helping me with the measurements and calculations (and tolerating all the swearing at the sewing machine). And thanks to Metanoia for all the sewing tips and advice.
