Create a timeless, beautifully detailed skirt with La Jupe Aliyah by Cha'coud, a stylish women's PDF sewing pattern featuring a double-breasted front, decorative panel seams, generous pockets and a fully lined interior. Combining classic tailoring-inspired details with a modern, close-fitting silhouette, Aliyah is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down throughout the year.
The Aliyah Skirt features two rows of front buttons, large integrated pockets, a shaped waistband and a fitted silhouette. Its distinctive panel construction adds visual interest, while the fully lined finish provides comfort and a professional-looking interior.
Originally designed in jacquard, Aliyah can also be sewn in wool, twill, velvet or tweed. Choose a textured fabric for an elegant autumn or winter skirt, or a lighter structured woven fabric for a sophisticated everyday look.
Rated Beginner by the designer, this pattern is particularly well suited to sewists who want to learn how to construct a fully lined garment. The illustrated instructions explain the lining assembly step by step, making Aliyah an approachable introduction to this valuable sewing technique.

Design Details
Double-Breasted Button Front:
Aliyah's defining feature is its double-breasted front, with two vertical rows of buttons creating a classic, tailored appearance. The overlapping front panels give the skirt its distinctive look while providing a practical opening.
Three Waistband Closure Options:
Customize the waistband finish according to your preferred style. Choose eight visible buttons for a coordinated double-breasted look, or use six visible buttons with concealed snap fasteners or a hook closure at the waistband for a more discreet finish.
Large Integrated Front Pockets:
Two generous pockets are incorporated into the front panel seams. Their construction creates a functional detail while maintaining the skirt's clean, structured appearance.
Panelled Construction:
The front and back of the skirt are assembled from several shaped pieces, providing a fitted silhouette with decorative seams that highlight the garment's construction.
Contoured Waistband:
A shaped waistband follows the waistline and provides a structured upper finish. Fusible interfacing can be added when working with softer or lighter fabrics that require additional support.
Fully Lined Interior:
The skirt includes separate lining pattern pieces and detailed instructions for assembling and attaching the lining. This creates a clean interior and makes Aliyah a great first project for learning lined garment construction.
Recommended Fabrics
The designer created the original Aliyah Skirt using jacquard and recommends several other woven fabrics with enough body to support the shaped panels, pockets and double-breasted front.
Lining Fabric: Choose a smooth woven lining fabric with a compatible weight and drape. A lining containing a small percentage of elastane can provide extra comfort and freedom of movement.
Important Fabric Recommendation: Because Aliyah is a relatively close-fitting skirt, Cha'coud recommends choosing both an outer fabric and a lining with a small amount of elastane when possible. This can help improve comfort while sitting, walking and moving.
Fabric Selection Tip: Choose jacquard or tweed for a classic statement skirt, wool for a refined cold-weather version, or cotton twill for a more casual everyday look. A suitable woven velvet can create a particularly elegant version for special occasions.
Fabric Requirements
The following fabric quantities are provided by Cha'coud for fabrics measuring 140 cm / 55" wide. These requirements apply to sizes 34–44.
- Outer Skirt Fabric: 1.20 m / approximately 1.31 yards
- Lining Fabric: 0.70 m / approximately 0.77 yards
- Fusible Interfacing: Optional, to reinforce the waistband if the main fabric is too lightweight or lacks structure
Note: These are the designer's original fabric requirements. Additional fabric may be needed for directional prints, pattern matching, fabric nap, adjustments or fabrics with different widths.
Additional Supplies & Notions
Choose one of the following three fastening options:
Option 1 – All Visible Buttons:
Option 2 – Concealed Snap Fasteners:
- 6 visible buttons, approximately 20 mm / 0.79" in diameter
- 2 concealed snap fasteners for the waistband
Option 3 – Concealed Hook Closure:
- 6 visible buttons, approximately 20 mm / 0.79" in diameter
- 1 concealed hook-and-eye closure for the waistband
Additional Sewing Supplies:
- All-purpose sewing thread suitable for the selected fabric
- Optional fusible interfacing for the waistband
- Appropriate sewing machine needle for your fabric
- Fabric scissors or rotary cutter
- Fabric marking tools, measuring tape and pins or clips
- Optional serger for finishing raw edges
Sewing Tip: Test your buttonholes on a scrap of the outer fabric, particularly when working with thick jacquard, tweed or velvet. Interfacing the waistband can also help stabilize the closure when using softer materials.
Size Range & Fit
La Jupe Aliyah includes six European women's sizes, from 34 to 44. The designer's size chart is based on a reference height of 165 cm / approximately 5'5".
Because Aliyah is designed with a relatively close-fitting silhouette, the designer recommends choosing the larger size if you fall between two sizes. The sewing instructions also include a fitting stage so the skirt can be adjusted before completion.
