York Pinafore Hack: Tiered Gathered Skirt

This next York Pinafore hack is a combination of the last two variations I shared, the gathered waist and the spaghetti straps. I have to say that this version brings me so much joy when I wear it! I love the swishy feel, the longer length, and the drama of the skirt. Not to mention it is made from the most gorgeous apricot linen I picked up while traveling in Thailand, *swooon*. What fabric should I use? I would recommend a lightweight linen or a drapier fabric like rayon challis or rayon twill. Any heavier and the gathers won't feel very delicate and will weigh too much to be comfortable.
