Hi: Love the slim silhouette you achieved on your pencil skirt? I have a similar shape and was wondering if you might share your pattern . . . or did you use a pattern for wovens and alter it to reflect negative ease? Could you share?
Many thanks!

Hey there, I used the Burdastyle Melissa pattern [http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/melissa] I cut a size 32 for the skirt, and a size 34 for the waistband and serged it together so the seam allowances I used were 1/4" or 3/8"—does that make sense? The only modification I made was to take 1.5" off the width of the waistband. Let me know if you have any other questions!
