Comments:
This is the first piece that I have completed for my SWAP. I had already done a wearable muslin for this pattern (see the post below this one), so I knew that the fit would be good. This version went to together easily.
I was going to underline the silk fabric, but, in the end, I decided against it. I want to be able to wear this skirt two different ways. With just a light slip underneath, it falls close to the body and looks less dressy. For dressier occassions, I plan on wearing a petticoat (which I plan on making ) underneath to puff it up.
Conclusion:
The top to complete this oufit is very high on my to-do list, so keep a lookout for it.

Shannon ~ this is going to be amazing when paired with the top! Heck it is pretty amazing now!
I just love the whole vintage theme of your swap.
Gorgeous skirt.
