A close friend of mine showed up at the playground wearing the cutest maxi I had seen yet, and I wish I had a picture (I think it was a Lilly Pullitzer), but anyway I fell in love and wanted to try to recreate it. I found this pattern Simplicity 1420 View C, and the cut is very similar. So I found some jersey knit at fabric.com, and dove into a much more difficult pattern. I struggled through several steps, and even had to stop for a few days to figure out how to do one step, but I completed it, and I think it turned out pretty nice, even though the pleats are on the wrong side of the skirt portion (oops). The best part? No zippers! Unfortunately the colors and print don't really work on me, so I've only worn it once:
