Although my skirt was a supporting garment, it ended up being the most challenging of all three. It included a double front and back structured pocket, a centre back split, a concealed zip in the centre back and a waistband. My aim was for the skirt to be very very fitted. The first toile was far too big on my model so I pinned it out to transfer to the pattern. I wanted a gap where the pockets met at the top, so used fabric to mock this and pin out the excess. My second and final toile was very difficult. I planned on having no seam in the pocket so the pocket bag would need to join another seam - the CB. This proved very difficult and altered the shape and fit of the skirt. After re trying, I ended up creating a structured pocket on the back too. This was very difficult to pattern cut and manufacture.
