Well, I might have to make my own since my little dye job did not turn
out so well.  The skirt is now a more subtle blue and green plaid
skirt that looks a little gray.  It's not completely destroyed, so I
might be able to wear it for something else.  So I am back to
searching and possibly making one.  I did find some fabric that was
the right color and weight.  Too bad they did not have it in black, or
I would be making my robes right now.

What Simplicity pattern number was it though?  I looked through the
books but did not see one that had the right pleats.

As for dying dark colored skirts to light gray, I would not recommend
it.  :)
