Build Your Wardrobe with the Everly Skirt
This might look like a simple mini skirt at first glance, but the Everly skirt has a few details that set it apart. It’s cut on the bias for a flattering, easy fit, and the double-layered design makes it fun to play with contrast fabrics or opacity. And it sews up quick!
Since it closes with an invisible zipper, pick lightweight woven fabrics that look nice cut on the bias, such as linen, chambray, lawn, rayon challis, and silk.

Shop for Fabric
There are a few things to consider when picking fabric for the Everly skirt. Since the skirt is cut on the bias, you will want to choose a lightweight fabric with some drape. Silk and rayon are delicate options, but this skirt will also work with chambray, yarn-dyed cotton, or linen. If you want a print, pick one that can be cut on the bias or stick with stripes.
