Nico Skirt and Skort - Fortiv - PDF Download
The Nico Skirt features a waistband with elastic at the sides and double drawstrings that tie at the front, making it easy to adjust throughout the day (and add a playful touch!). The flat waistband at the front and the gently elasticized sides allow the body to grow with minimal pressure on the stomach and lower back, and ease in with drawstrings when needed.
The skirt has an easeful fit overall with a slight A-line shape and pin-tucked seams down the front and back.
The Nico Skirt is offered in sizes XS-6XL, and comes with a short and long length, along with the option of adding a shorts or skirt lining.
A straight stitch machine and serger are used to make this style, though an alternate seam finish can be easily adapted.

The Nico Skirt works with a variety of light to mid-weight fabrics depending on your desired outcome. Some fabric types we recommend are: lightweight wool/ wool blend suiting, cotton, and linen. This design also works great for a 2-tone skirt and/or contrasting drawstrings! If you choose to line your skirt with the skirt or shorts lining option, you may also want a light fabric suitable for lining such as silk, cotton voile, or bemberg.
