Pattern Sizing:
German. I usually make a 10, but I made a 14 with this pattern and it was just right. Read the back of the pattern, or you'll have a very small garment. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes! I made view B, the pencil skirt and the lines are perfect. It is shorter because I wanted it shorter, but other than that it looks perfect. Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes. Simple, and different, but easy. Burda includes full instructions in 4 different languages but if they didn't it wouldn't even take 1 full side of a regular mccalls/simplicity pattern directions. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The lines and style! Very flattering. It also goes together very quickly and doesn't take a whole lot of fabric. Fabric Used:
Pepsi Blue Wool. I don't know what kind of wool exactly (not as fabric savvy as I would like to be) but it is 100%. Lined in cotton, and the facing is a really cute rayon print. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I shortened it to knee length, didn't use an invisible zipper, and lined it even though it didn't call for it (only view A did). Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes! I already have plans. Conclusion:
An excellent quality, quick, dependable pattern! I look forward to using it again. Check out my blog post at Jo-with-It's Portfoliofor lots more pictures and prolific details.

Thanks for the review! This is a lovely skirt. :) I'm not sure what you mean by "Read the back of the pattern, or you'll have a very small garment."
