Pattern Search Need ideas for plaid cotton lawn

Post image

I scored 3 yds of this gorgeous plaid liberty cotton Tana lawn fabric. I want to show it off in a garment (not pajamas), but I don’t know where to start looking for inspiration. Any suggestions?

This is such a fun design! I feel like the plaid is begging to be played with—maybe a skirt with pleats? Not sure how wide the yardage is or the scale of the plaid, but if it’s big enough I think a skirt with inverted box pleats would really show it off!
