MODULE 3 - HOW TO GRADE 'MOLLY SKIRT' BIGGER
The Molly Skirt is a very easy pattern to grade as it's really on the width of the waist and the hem that needs to get bigger and, of course, the waistband and the ties.
The pattern is in Sizes 2 - 10 but because it's a skirt it could be graded up to a Size 14. I would only grade skirts up to teen sizes as the only real contact with the body is the waist and it is a simple grade.
Below, I will show you how to grade the Molly Skirt to a Size 14.
