A solid coloured ribbon or band right above the seam would probably make it look more intentional.CraftyHourMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866651067242071546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854500778673546024.post-60575613803719629572011-04-14T12:56:32.798-07:002011-04-14T12:56:32.798-07:00Congrats.

Something simple that wouldn't make the skirt too fussy, but would brake up the color difference a little.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652031029020283034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854500778673546024.post-14686189947364757612011-04-10T20:40:35.373-07:002011-04-10T20:40:35.373-07:00I like both skirts!

Either way, you look cute. Congratulations on the new-coming baby.

No ruffle but the same seaming and more of the flared trumpet shape.<br /><br />I didn't even notice the colour difference in the first photo, only the straight on shot. If it bugs you I've seen "denim" dye before. You could over-dye the whole thing and see if it evens out.

It's all matched up perfectly but the sharp contrast between the light and the dark stand out. Maybe try your hand at continuing the distressed sections? I know I saw a tutorial somewhere...Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538128071032666452noreply@blogger.com
