Skirts are such a great way to rock prints and batiks especially if they have large scale motifs. You can go for simple A-line, pencil or flared skirts and let the fabric do all the work as it were.
You can wear them with block colours too for a nice fresh look. Pair with a t-shirt or blouse in a complimentary colour, put on some heels or trainers and you are good to go. A white or black t-shirt/blouse/shirt will go with pretty much any print and colour.
Another thing you could do is pick a colour that is in the print fabric and wear a top in that colour.

This is the first in our exploration of prints and patterns. We, and by we I mean I, will be honing my sewing skills whilst experimenting using African fabric to make interesting sewing patterns. I often come across great sewing patterns, with Pinterest and Instagram full of completed garments by avid sewers. I thought it …
