I managed to get away with just under two metres as I shortened the skirt and could fit both the front and back skirt pieces side by side across the width of my fabric. If your fabric is too narrow to do this you will need the however long your skirt pieces are extra in fabric so you can lay your pattern pieces one above the other. I hope that makes sense - if you need any more info let me know and I'll send an email!Fiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-13965023836217709182014-01-20T23:14:22.850+00:002014-01-20T23:14:22.850+00:00What a beautiful dress!
