For KCW today, I offer you two knit skirts with built-in chastity shorts (I’ve mentioned here before that I refuse to say “skort” and that decree is still very much in effect). They are a necessary clothing item for any trapeze artist wanting to keep her unmentionables unmentioned.
The stripey skirt is version 1, dots are version 2. The only difference between the two are the shape of the built-in shorts. They’re still a work in progress. I also think I prefer the deeper hem in version 1’s skirt.
Version 1’s shorts were too short in the crotch (you can see the strip I added to lengthen them) and version 2 is a little too loose around the legs. I imagine this means that version 3 will be all that is perfect in a pair of knit chastity shorts. Preferably without any added effort on my part.
Back to the drawing board! Luckily my girls pretty much live in these skirts, so we can’t have too many. And since I’ve put this much work into it and the skirt is practically one size fits all, I might just have to make a free pattern for you! But only if you ask nicely.
I was going to draft up the same exact type of skirt/short combo pattern for my daughter this week for KCWC. I have a feeling I will have similar problems with fit…it’s always hard to get it exactly right the first time.
PLEEEEEEEEEASE make a pattern! Pretty pretty pleeeeease!! :)
I will definitely ask…please, please, please!
asking VERY nicely for the pattern!! they are PERFECT for my 3 year old!! :)
I am asking nicely too! Please, with sugar and cherries and sprinkles and mix ins from Marble Slab or Cold Stone. Lol
Love this little skirt. I think it would look darling on all ages. I would love to have the pattern. PLEASE share with US.
I will also plead with you to make a tutorial. My daughters love these chirtys (chastity plus skirt-thought I’d invent a name) and I like how yours has a long waist before the gathered part. I have to make them for my 8 year old because she isl fussy about the fit (we received a bag of hand me downs and if the crotch the is baggy in any way she wont wear them).
i’ll ask nicely for a pattern too pretty please – but only if you name it the chastity skirt. omigosh the search terms you’ll see on the blog if you do THAT! anyway yeah these are super cute and i like the fit of the yellow ones better too. carry on!
I have two little girls who love dressing up and these would be perfect. Could you please, please make a pattern. Thanks!
Pretty, pretty please. I would love to make this for my granddaughter.
umm…yes, please! i’ve been thinking about working on this for awhile and would sooo appreciate a pattern!
Pretty please with ice cream on top!!
Would you share with your Nichada friend? I got back into sewing this summer and these would work great for my rambunctious little ones. We call them ayground shorts (but usually they are separate from the skirt). I’m not a big fan of the “s” word either. Which material works best if I want to stock up before returning?
Pretty please with a cherry on top? My daughter would live in those skirts 24-7 if I let her. I would love a tutorial for one! :)
Oh, yes, please! I need to make several pairs of these for my girls who have no concept of modesty (the oldest is 3, so I guess that’s normal). I made a couple of pairs of knit shorts, but they’re not attached, and that would be so much better!
My children seem to believe whenever they say “pretty please” I am obliged to do whatever they are requesting. So pretty please make the pattern. :)
I would love a pattern. My daughter lives in those types of skirts all summer long.
I would love to have the pattern for my granddaughters. I would really appreciate it please.
Yes please I have a lovely peace of fabric I want to make into a skirt for my daughter and would love a free pattern like this one xoxo
I love these kinds of skirts – I call them “cartwheel skirts” or “monkey-bar skirts,” though, it seems more kid-friendly. (Have you seen the Urban Dictionary definition for “Chastity shorts”? LOL.) In the winter, I have my girls wear leggings under skirts – keeps their legs warmer and still gives them the freedom of movement of a short skirt. A pattern would be wonderful – please please, with cheery cherries on top?!?
