From Friday Pattern Company:

The Bernadette is a party in a skirt; pleated in the front - darted in the back! Plus, store your treasures in style with the super fun belt bag! The pattern includes the skirt in two length options; mini and midi. The belt is closed with D-rings and the bag features a zipper pocket, front pouch, and flap. This is a versatile and fun to sew pattern that you’ll want to sew in every color. Designed for mid-weight woven fabrics, the Bernadette looks great in anything from linen, to denim, to a rayon twill! If you’re looking for a cute and comfortable skirt, you need Bernadette in your life.

UPDATE: The belt bag component of this pattern, the Bernie Belt Bag, is also available to purchase as a separate PDF pattern.

Recommended Fabrics: The Bernadette Skirt is designed for woven fabrics. Any sort of medium weight woven is suitable. If you choose a fabric like a mid-weight twill or denim you will get a more structured skirt. If you choose a drapier fabric like a rayon challis or silk, you will get a flowier skirt.

Sizes: XS/0 - 7X/32 (49.5"/126 cm - 77.5"/197 cm hip)

Fit Notes: The Bernadette has two length options, mini and midi length. The mini falls mid thigh and the midi falls a few inches above the ankle. It was drafted using sample measurements for a height of 5’6”[168cm]. This skirt is designed to be fitted but not too tight through the waist. There is a fair amount of ease in the hips to allow the pleats to fall nicely. 

Model Fit Notes:

  • The model in the denim version is wearing a size medium. The fabric is a 8oz 100% cotton denim.
  • The model in the khaki version is wearing a size XXL. The fabric is a cotton canvas.
