Possibly the summer version of this black wool skirt. I used lightweight denim, paired with zip outlines and detachable gathers. Once again there are also little gaps in the seams for the belt to weave through. Recently I've been adding those belt gaps in most of the things I've been making, including a gathered top in the same purple fabric using the holes to thread through a body chain.

Separate gathers can be zipped onto the skirt like this one. there are also little gaps in the seams for a belt to be weaved in and cinch at certain places. Unzipping the back allows it to be worn lower on the hip.

Multi-functional aspects are enforced with detachable gathers, semi-concealed belts and zip details.
I wanted dresses to appear simple at the front but with striking back details.
