Description I made this lolita skirt for myself almost two years ago actually but I still love it! I wear it all the time and it matches my pink cutsews perfectly.

The skirt itself is red gingham with a white ruffle attached on the skirt's lining and pink bows with pink ribbon running through the white lace.

Thanks for looking!

Really cool! I'm new to lolita fashion and was just looking around and I found this.

Did you use a pattern for this?

Here it is!

Except do NOT gather the bottom of each layer like it says, only gather the top
Hope that helps!

I actually used a tutorial online! It's really easy
Let me go see if I can find it for you and I'll comment back with it.
(the only difference is that I added that white ruffle on a separate layer on mine)

Did you make the petticoat as well?

If you don't mind me asking, how many metres/yards are in the skirt? I'm looking at making my own lolita skirt ^^ Just not sure how much material to buy =[

3 yards is usually a safe bet

I did not make this particular petticoat but I did make the petticoat for the Skitty costume which is basically the same just fluffier

A good way to figure out the the amount needed for a basic lolita skirt is to take your waist measurement x3.5. That's for a gathered skirt though, if you want to make the same style I made there is a great tutorial for it on the EGL community on LJ, it's super easy
