I'd give this skirt a B-/C+. Unfortunately I didn't draft it quite right and so I'm not in love with it. Actually, it's drafted correctly, but the draft is not a good fit for this fabric. The exact same draft in a soft flowy fabric would be perfect. No so much with denim. It's an easy mistake to make, but still a little frustrating. Also, the buttons aren't quite evenly spaced. I don't know how that happened but it drives my perfectionist side crazy.
I do like the faux wrap part of the design with off center buttons, though. That part was successful. If I make another one I'll just draft it with back darts instead and not quite so much flare. After looking at the pictures I think it actually looks better than it feels when I'm wearing it.
All in all, its still a wearable skirt and it goes with just about anything. This year is supposed to be about sewing wardrobe staples for myself and this fits the requirements.
