Ruffled western skirt

Recently, I made a western skirt from some very light weight denim. After cutting the yoke and basting the skirt on, I did not like how deep or pointed the yoke came. I took the skirt off and cut the yoke higher and with less of a curve. This altered the hem-line of the skirt a bit making it un-even, but all the ruffles on the bottom helps to hide this defect. The belt loops also come to the traditional western yoke shaped points.

I really like that skirt! You did a beautiful job.
Did you use a pattern to make it? If so would you mind telling me what it is?

I have only been wearing skirts a little over a year and have a hard time finding anything "western" looking, which is my preferance.

Thank you.
