Review: McCall's 5430 | Wrap Gingham Skirt!

I'm really making up for last year's unfulfilled gingham obsession.  This time, it's a skirt.  A quick and easy wrap skirt.

I used McCall's 5430, view C in the same black and white gingham as used in this top.

My inspiration comes from Michael Kors Collection Spring 2015

This is **supposedly** a 1-hour skirt.  I beg to differ.  This skirt is basically no different than any other skirt.  It has a significant number of pattern pieces, a waist band, closures and it still needs to be hemmed.  It's not a long or daunting project, but it does takes a couple of hours. 

I cut the size 14.  It fits perfectly through the hip, but it was a little big through the waist.  And I added a couple inches to the length.  I cut the pockets on the bias and used D-rings for the closure at the waist.

Styling tip;  I wore my wrap skirt with a black RTW off-the-shoulder sweater; a straw and white wicker clutch from Talbots; a straw boater hat from Nordstrom; and white pumps.
