Fiore Skirt Pattern

I sewed this skirt with a linen cotton blend and it was a lovely combo of the perfect fabric and fine pattern. However when sent to daughter I was saddened to hear it was too large. “Just belt it”

I made view C using some medium weight linen and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out; I'm fairly new to sewing and this was the first skirt I've made! The instructions for the most part were clear and easy to follow along with; there was a few times that I had to sit and think for a bit, but it was still more clear than other pattern companies (ie Simplicity). A little more help with the buttons would've been nice though. The instructions basically just said add the buttons and buttonholes so I had to do additional research to figure out how to accomplish that. Overall, I would definitely recommend this pattern to others.

This was the most complicated garment I had seen when I made it- my first stable waistband, my first invisible zip, and my first time working with a slinky rayon. It’s not perfect, but I enjoyed the process and the skirt is totally wearable. The instructions were great- usually while I’m working on new techniques I google other instructions to compare, but when I made this I only used the instructions that came with it. They were very clear, even for a beginner like me!

I adore this pattern. I made View B, as I was really drawn to the asymmetric wrap and pocket which was so unique. It was easy to sew, great for a beginner like me. It was simple to fit too as the wrap could be easily adjusted. The fabric I chose was a busy floral pattern, so I added some trim to highlight the wrap and pocket. I have a couple more photos on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGc0PRkFxLO/

I had been on the look out for a skirt I would actually be able to wear that as I need a waistband but that was fun and wearable with a toddler. This one was the winner when I also saw I only needed 2 metres of fabric for View C. I made it up in a washed cotton and it was love. Such an enjoyable sew. I'm not a beginner anymore but I definitely think with the fantastic instructions that this is beginner friendly as well.

I found this pattern was very true to size and the instructions were easy to follow. I made it from a wool fabric so decided to line it. That was slightly more difficult. Overall the pattern was excellent and inspired me to make more closet core patterns. I plan to make the skirt again as well.

I am new at sewing clothing and the fiore skirt pattern worked out great. I made 2 of the 3 options and am very pleased with them. I hadn't worked with many patterns before and found this to be well written and understandable for a novice like me.

I've sewed View B multiple times and loved wearing them and sewing them. Tip: I found that cutting the slant edge facing on the straight grain served me far better than any amount of stay stitching or interfacing to the end of avoiding the stretched edge visible in many projects. I will also say that this is *not* a wrap skirt that can be modified for weight gain by moving buttons! The slant overlap was perfectly tidy (even when sitting) in the drafted size; but subtract a few inches of overlap and you will be open for all to see :)

Just finished my first Fiore skirt, and it turned out just as pictured. Directions were clear and it fits great!

I have a teaching studio called The Sewing Hive that offers sewing classes and there's a course we have that teaches students to begin making garments. It includes the Fiore Skirt and another independent pattern company's button up shirt. After testing other patterns, the Fiore skirt was a perfect one and we have them bring the pattern to class for the skirt project. The invisible zipper, simple hem and standard waistband techniques it offers are a great building block to grow skirt sewing skills. Thank you for making the instructions easy to follow as well.

Great pattern and instructions

I haven't made this skirt yet, but I read through the pattern instructions. Once again, they are very clear and well-illustrated in true "Core" style. I'm still toying with the idea of lining the skirt, as my fabric is very light, but I want it to be cooler for summer and don't want polyester lining in a cotton skirt.

What a great skirt design. Last July I made view B wrap skirt in olive green textured cotton from Core Fabrics and am in love. The wrap gives full coverage together with the rare combination of swish and sleekness due to the waistband & pocket design. It has a huge pocket that doesn't stick out off my hip. I've worn it to a nice restaurant as well as camping over a swimsuit (iPad mini in the pocket!). Sewing it again with a matching Cielo top to wear together for a dress look and as separates. Be aware that due to grainlines, it does require generous yardage, but I think it's worth it and am curious to see how the Cielo top can be puzzle pieced in. If yardage is tight you could also cut the side front facing from coordinating fabric, which would look pretty cool. All three of the Rome collection patterns have been winners for me, which rarely happens.

I made view B in a non-stretch linen. This pattern is so beautiful and incredibly easy to follow. I get lots of wear out of this skirt. As a short woman (I'm 4'10") the below-the-knee option is the PERFECT length for a midi skirt on me. I made this in a size 12 but will make my next version in a size 10 for a tighter fit on the waist.

I made a flowy version C (no pockets) with rayon twill and a little elastic in the back waistband for a bit of give when I sit down. It's beautiful and the pattern instructions were clear, very well illustrated, and had a lot of information that made it easy to decide what size to make. I will absolutely make more Fiore skirts and try some other patterns!

I love the options included in the Fiore skirt. I have made View C (without pockets), and expect to make the others in the near future. The pattern was easy to follow and the finished garment fits well.

I made this skirt for a friend - I made type C. Instructions were really easy to follow and it looked great on her! Look forward to trying more of them!

After taking the "sewing clothing" class here, I embarked on sewing my first garment! It was option C in a really lovely linen. Well, I did make a few mistakes that I learned a lot from, but overall, I was very proud of my skirt!

What a great skirt. Really easy to put together. Good for beginners. Absolutely Brilliant! I used a cream mid weight linen. Made view 'B'. Made no alterations, made size 14 UK.

I work full time and have three teenagers which means in my limited time to sew I don't want to have to try to decipher any weird/missing sewing instructions. This is the reason I love independent sewing companies and Closet Core Patterns have an outstanding rep in the online world for good instructions. And I wanted a pattern I would wear and my teen girls - why not make good use of my money! The Fiore Skirt we all loved the style of and I loved every minute of the construction of this skirt, after getting it printed at a copy shop, another time saver I habitually use now that I know better! Who doesn't need another jean skirt with good size pockets? Anyways, this was an easy peasy project that my girls could sew on their own BECAUSE of the great instructions! A small change I made was adding a thin strip of twill tape inside the waistband to stop any potential stretching of the waistband, that's it! I have plans to make more and so do my girls - if the teens like it then you know it must be a hip skirt! I couldn't help that pun...

I was very happy with this pattern. The pattern was thorough and paid attention to the necessary details to ensure a great result.

I really like it!
A-line skirts are my style, and the fiore, specially the wrap one with the pocket, it’s my favorite!
Following the instructions was very easy, I already made 2! 😉
Now the Clare Coat and the Jenny Overalls are on my next project list!!!

I love this skirt! Made the simple version, I needed to size down the waist finally . I lenghthened it mid-calves. Next time I will reduce the fullness a little bit. Instructions are very clear AS USUAL!!!!
Thank you for these wonderful patterns!!!

I had a lot of trouble with the pocket assembly, sewing and unpicking it twice before I figured it out. If there had been an instruction that said turn pocket to wrong side of fabric to make it sit on the left hip, I would have got it right the first time.

My new favorite skirt. I made view B. Fits really well and it is fun to make! I made 2... for now!
