Description
The Bloom Skirt is a timeless design with a 1950s-inspired silhouette, featuring a gathered waist that adds volume and movement. With its clean, unfussy details, it’s a versatile make that works beautifully for those who prefer minimalist styling or want to showcase a bold print without interruptions. The skirt includes Maven’s signature in-seam pockets, a centre back invisible zip, and a deep waistband that sits at the natural waist to enhance the fit-and-flare shape, though it can be easily adjusted for a custom fit. It fastens discreetly with snap fasteners for a seamless look and is unlined for a lightweight, breathable feel.
Designed as an excellent skill-building project, this pattern allows sewists to focus on mastering techniques such as in-seam pockets, invisible zips, understitching, stitch-in-the-ditch, and gathering. With Maven’s expert instructions and additional free photo tutorials, you’ll have all the support you need to create a beautifully finished skirt.
Recommended Fabric
The Bloom Skirt suits light to medium-weight wovens like cotton poplin, linen, chambray, lightweight denim, satin, and taffeta. Choose a stiffer fabric for structure or viscose for a softer drape. The scallop hem is easiest to sew in stable fabrics like poplin.
For a formal look, try taffeta with a contrast hem or navy satin. A bold print in linen or silk makes a statement, while linen or poplin creates a stylish everyday skirt. Originally midi-length, it can be easily adjusted, with brocade or Broderie Anglaise making a stunning maxi.
