Girls 14/16 Modest Skirt with Apron Overlay

Modest girls skirts are so hard to find these days, so I sometimes end up making them for my daughter.  She is growing up and no longer fits into girls sizes, much to the budget's dismay. {Sigh.}   I was informed yesterday that she doesn't really want me sewing clothes for her anymore.  Oh, really?  I was a bit taken aback!  I reminded her of tiered skirts made with upcycled denim jeans, and she said those were okay.  In fact, she was in the fabric closet today picking out what she wanted for her next two tiered skirts!  Then there's the knit skirt I made her about a month ago using one of her store-bought skirts as a pattern, and that one was acceptable.  I think what she means is that skirts like this one are OUT, mom.  Not everything you make, just the younger girlish ones.  Yes, I made this for her, and she didn't like it, so it is going in my Etsy shop to sell.  :{ Adorable red polka dot yoke paired with beautiful light blue, royal blue, and red flowers. The underskirt peeking out beneath the apron overlay. A full length view with the apron overlay folded back. Close-up of interior details; professionally serged edges and ribbon tag in the back.
