For our second skirt we had to use interfacing, which was a difficult fabric to work with because you couldn't press it however i tried to use it to my advantage by making a peplum skirt and because interfacing stiffens fabric it meant the peplum worked well. The only problem i had with the peplum was that the fabric stared to fray and i thought with using interfacing it wouldn't.

David Koma uses Peplums in a lot of his work, i think from looking at his work inspired me to make a peplum to create a peplum i just made a semi circle on pattern paper and then cut round the fabric and cut a smaller whole in the centre so it would form a ruffle

The peplum i created, it started to fray on the edges which i thought wouldn't happen due to the interfacing but for some reason it did.

I used the basic skirt block because the first skirt i made i didn't use a pattern, but i took the pattern in because i wanted it to be more fitted and towards the bottom of the pattern instead of being an a- line skirt, i wanted it to be a pencil skirt, i put two darts on the front and 4 on the back to create the fitted effect.
