Mermaid Flounce Skirt Pattern // Making A Lemon Print Dress

Today I wanted to show you all one way to create a flounced mermaid style flared skirt pattern. There are many different ways to draft styles like these, from a gathered flounce, to a gored skirt, to a more circle cut flounce or ruffle like this one! I chose to test out the new skirt shape with some fun summery lemon print cotton. While I do think this busy print could perhaps use a big navy blue belt to cinch in the waist a bit, I'm excited to wear this new dress out in the summer time one day!
