Beth Harmon's Outfits Part 2:

I forgot to mention in my last post that the costume designer for the Queen's Gambit is Gabriele Binder.

We all like watching series because they transport us to places we would like to visit or times we miss. In addition, the beautiful outfits they wear can inspire us and make us want to recreate those looks. That’s why I love watching The Queens Gambit.

And one of the locks she wore is a nice mustard yellow skirt with plates on each side of the hip.

To cut the fabric I started by measuring the length I wanted it to be and the bottom with. Then, to cut their waist, I fold it in half so I could mark the middle and from then their sides of their waist, adding the centimetres that the plates needed. After cutting the fabric I then added some pins to keep the plate in place and so their front and back panel together. But only on one side because the other one needed the zipper.

The waistband was really easy to make because it is only a rectangle with the length of your waist and devil there with you want it to be. Once you fold it in half you can attach it to the skirt panel right sides together and then state in the zipper and finish that side seam so you can hem it.

The result is a really nice skirt that won’t go out of fashion, in a nice bright colour that will suit the winter cold with a nice jumper on, or a breezy spring afternoon with a nice blouse.
