Do any of you fine folk know where I might find a pattern for a Yoke (sp) Skirt like the ones pictured at this link?

I need to make one for M'Lady
Just grab me by the shoulders and point me in the right direction please... Thank You
I don't think you need a special pattern. It just looks like a waist cincher with the skirt sewn on. The big three have waist cincher patterns.
$85 dollars!! Geez Luise!
LMAO... I Know... Right? Hence the "I need to make one for M'Lady" statement...
And don't forget to wait for those $1-2 pattern sales. Hancock's always has a rotation schedule every month for the big three. I NEVER buy a pattern for more than $2! $18 is ridiculous! ::)
It actually looks more like the yoke goes around the hips (which I have to say looks terribly unflattering), and not around the waist like a true waist cincher, which would look MUCH better, IMO. You don't need a pattern for a waist cincher: just measure the waist and then decide how wide/tall you want it to be, then draw out a shape like this (http://pic50.picturetrail.com/VOL417/1033223/4707019/311197155.jpg) to those measurements (the one shown is what I made for my MIL's measurements.). You'll want to either bone or heavily interface/interline it, so it doesn't scrunch. Then just gather or pleat ~4 yards of fabric to the bottom edge.
You ALL ROCK... Really HARD 8)
Thank You
I'd certainly make it as a waist cincher with plenty of boning. REAL boning, not cable ties, but that' the professional dressmaker in me! ;D
