Help finding a skirt pattern? For ME!

[Brieshon]

I got 2 yards of beautiful semi-sheer black cotton fabric with delicate silver flowers embroidered on it (with wee sequins!!). I want to make a skirt for me, and possibly a matching one for my daughter. I have a zipper and black cotton broadcloth for the lining.

I'm trying to decide on a style of skirt for me. I like knee-length. I'm plus size, so it would be great to have a design with bigger measurements.

I am an intermediate sewer, I think, though I am still learning some of the lingo and techniques. I'm thinking a panel skirt would be good, but maybe there's a better style out there?

Help!!

I'm no help with patterns but the fabric sounds really pretty.

2 yards won't be enough to make a maxi skirt for you and a skirt for your daughter.  The pattern you like is a gathered full length skirt.  So to know roughly what you need in fabric, you would take at least 2 x your hip measurement, then figure the length.  If you take the measurement across the fabric that will be your circumference, then you need your length.  I wear an 18 and I would need 80" around (preshrunk)  and 40" long.  So overall I would need 2 X the 42" width fabric by 40" long =  so 80" so 21/4 yards.  Then you would want a bit more to insure you had enough for the waistband.
