Yellow Skirt

So I tried to make this yellow skirt.  It was hard and I spent a lot of time on it.  I have never made anything this complicated before so for me it took all my energy.  And I was happy with it... until I washed it.  It shrunk at least an inch in length and around.  Since I had made it to be fitted and the material didn't stretch at all I got really frustrated.  I broke the seems three times just trying to wear it.  The problem was that I kept trying to pull it down an inch but it was so tight around my hips that it wouldn't go any lower and the side seam would just rip.  I guess I need to go and fix it but I really don't want to work on it or even think about this skirt anymore.  I just want it to fit.  I guess I learned my lesson, wash material before you sew with it.

Shirt: Ross, $15; Skirt: Made it, $5; Shoes: Fred Meyer

Look, it even has a zipper, pleats and a little ruffle thing in the back.
