Nude Sheer

After creating the black puffy organza skirt and finding it very useful, I bought some lovely nude organza and created another one. I adore the colour and when worn with dark colours it seems much sheerer than the black one.

Teamed with leather, some black shorts and long socks, it looks less twee and a bit more "oh madam, I can see through your skirt!"

Obviously you might not want to venture out during the day like this - but for a night out to play it's acceptable. Providing my long suffering Prince isn't too horrified about the shorts, I may even wear this on Saturday night.

great!

luv the colour and shape... I actually thought about making the exact same skirt after seeing your Anastase post:D but I'll probably be doing two in different colours to wear one over the other to prevent that super-sheerness effect. I was just wondering if I should make it with a rectangle piece of fabric or with a full circle pattern.

LOVE this colour! The black is gorgeous too, but something about this colour is just so, so wonderful!

Oh these are fantastic. I have a ridiculous array of handmade puffy skirts but none in sheer organza. i may have to make some too.

you are amazing :)

[WendyB]

This is a great look.

I bet old Princie will like the shorts, for the same reasons all subversive boys have for liking such things.

You look fantastic.

Joanna, this level of fullness comes from using lots and lots of material (3 metres for this one) and sewing it into a tube shape then elasticating the waist. The circle shape will be much more subtle.

I would never have thought of sewing it into a tube first...I would have gone with the circle skirt idea. You little genius - it looks beautiful. Your DIYs are my favourite. Cx

Oh, I already liked the sheer black skirt, but I absolutely adore this one! I might just have to try my hand at it, which I have already done for a few of your other DIYs... I just love them.

This looks great! Do you find it hard to sew with organza?

[ambika]

It's funny how you can make something relatively basic (neutral color+black) look so, so amazing.

[lopi]

Congratulations, it looks divine! And I love the socks!

[Queen Michelle]

Aw thanks Ambika. I'm having a very bad day today and that cheered me up!
Ali, it's actually really easy to sew with. I thought it would be a bloody nightmare but it wasn't at all. My machine doesn't do overlocking all that well usually, but when it came to overlocking the organza it worked brilliantly!

Woweee!
I am so on the hunt for organza tomorrow!

[Sal]

Any prince horrified by the shorts ain't worth your time, lady.

[Chic Looks]

Beautiful clothing + Beautiful person + extreme talent = Queen Michelle.

I already loved the black version, but if it's possible I love the nude version even more.

[hailey]

Great weekend outfit, how can you not have fun in this?

[Joanna]

thanks for the tip:D I believe boys always like it sheer and don't really care about the details.
