My daughter made these for a project in her fashion class at school, and she really likes them. Very soft and drapey.
I find sizing a challenge though. We followed the sizing guidelines, but we should have gone a size or two smaller.
She’s happy with them, though, which is what counts.

  Hi,
  Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on our Sophia Bubble skirt/pants.
  So glad that your daughter could use these for her fashion class and that she was happy with her end result.
  We recommend checking the finished garment measurements to help with your size selection along with our size chart.
  
  Thanks again,

Really pleased that I have finally made a bubble skirt. My skirt is quite sculptural due to the fabric I used.The fabric was a cotton poplin that had a lot of body and I used it for the lining as well. This made the skirt bottom poof out and I love the result. It was an easy sew and I recommend watching the video tutorial before you make it.
Great pattern. A fun skirt.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
