Pattern Description:
Narrow skirts with ingenious back view. Flattering darts and shaping cross seam.View C with back godet
Pattern Sizing:
36-50 - I made the 36 View A
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
simple lines and nicely shaped, especially liked the back yoke
Fabric Used:
some kind of synthetic - but no stretch
close up fabric
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I had made View C previously and kept the same changes - shortened sided dart and tapered out a little of the hip curve - I found it to be an easy skirt to fit.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I might make View B sometime, but I have other skirt patterns I'd like to try, but I would recommend this to someone looking for a simple pencil skirt.
Conclusion:
The fabric was a little tricky to work with, but I was able to press it using a silk organza press cloth. Thanks Dharma for great pricing!

The lines of this skirt pattern are so interesting and make it fit you perfectly! I think you were made for skirts. It looks fantastic on you! I especially like it with the jacket.

Another Burda hit. Is there a real vent in back and not just a slit? Lovely fabric! Skirt looks great on you! Very classy.

Thank you! I was quite pleased it turned out so well given the fabric. Lucy - that is a real vent, fully interfaced as in the last issue of Threads.
