To make the Caroline skirt, I recommend a slightly thick fabric, such as corduroy, wool, jacquard, suede... You can also make it in denim, or why not in a cotton gabardine!

Choose your usual size for the Caroline skirt.

 

I’m wearing a size S/M, I am 5’6 [168cm] and my measurements are 35 1⁄2 -27 1⁄2 -37 (in) [90-70-94 (cm)].

Make a muslin especially of the bust if you don’t want any unpleasant surprises!

Print only page 1 of the pattern at first. Make sure to scale to 100%. Double check the 1.97” x 1.97” test square [5cm x 5cm] on the printed page.

If the scale is accurate, proceed with printing the remaining pages of the pattern. Piece your pattern together by putting the pages in numerical order and matching up the grey circles on the pages. You can choose to either trim or fold the edges.
