I made a skirt and it took forever

I have made a super pretty skirt with covered buttons and piping down the seams. I saved time (and bulk) by not doing pockets. I saved time by not doing a belt or belt loops (I thought it would detract from the piping). the inside of the skirt is a thing of beauty, finally. That's what took so long. That and the piping. You can see my challenge post on sewweekly here. It's a Colette Beignet, of course. 12 buttonholes, eep.

    Brilliant!!! You made great choices in leaving out the belt loops, pockets etc and concentrating on the main features of the skirt. Looks great on you...

    Thanks all for your lovely comments - so supportive as ever xx

    Charlotte - I added about 2 inches to the length because of my fat knees. You will not need to do this ;0) The pattern is lovely but did take much longer than I thought a skirt should take. This maybe because I am challenged though..... tee hee
