Easy level · 2.5 hour project · Sizes XS–4XL · Instant PDF download

Create a classic A-line midi skirt with elegant vertical lines and a beautiful, swishy hem. The GABRIELLA skirt is made of 11 vertical panels that skim the waist and hips, then open gently into a soft flare. The curved waist is finished with a 4 cm (1.6″) grosgrain ribbon instead of a traditional waistband: a quick, neat finish that sits comfortably on the body. An invisible zipper closes the centre back. If you prefer, you can move it to a side seam and cut the centre back piece on the fold.

• Flattering A-line silhouette
• 11 vertical panels flaring from hip to hem
• Midi length: 75 cm (29.5″) in all sizes
• Curved waist finished with grosgrain ribbon – no waistband to sew
• Invisible zipper at centre back or in the side seam
• Easy to lengthen or shorten

Clean lines. Easy construction. A wardrobe staple you’ll want to sew in every season.

Recommended Fabrics

Choose a medium-weight woven fabric with a soft drape and enough body to show off the panel lines.

• Wool crepe
• Wool blends
• Suiting fabrics
• Cotton twill
• Gabardine
• Medium-weight linen blends

For a more fluid finish, choose a softer fabric. For a more structured silhouette, choose a fabric with more body. Avoid very lightweight or very stiff fabrics, as they would change the intended shape of the skirt.

Why You’ll Love It

GABRIELLA is the kind of skirt you reach for again and again. The panels give it a refined, tailored look, while the grosgrain waist keeps the sewing simple and quick. Sew it in grey wool with boots for an elegant winter or office look, in cotton twill for everyday wear, or in a linen blend for a lighter spring version. Thanks to the simple construction, it’s also a great project if you are building your confidence with zippers and curved seams.
