The West Coast Skirt from Frankie & Ray is a simple, elegant skirt you’ll want to put on high rotate in your closet.

It’s slightly A-line, with a gathered elastic waist at the back, an enclosed tie at the front, and two big pockets set into the side seams. It hits at slightly below knee length, but of course is easily adjusted to be made longer or shorter.

Because it doesn’t have a firm waistband, the skirt can be worn high on your waist or low on your hips. Elastic at the back gives it ease of movement and fit. The pattern lends itself to medium-weight fabrics - from denim and corduroy to linen - making it a true multi-season piece.

And good news for beginners: The West Coast Skirt has no zip, darts, buttons, or interfacing, making it a great pattern for you, too!
