Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made a Michelle skirt using a crinkled (don’t know the proper discription) silk. I love the color, but sorry it might not look so lovely, as it was too difficult for me to take a good pic. It was green-silver-ish pale blue…
I used green shiny silk for the contrasting hem and ribbons, and also for the facing. I have put the liner for my later comfort.
The total length was shortened by 2cm as I am 166cm ; )
Material Notes
a flower patterned woven pale blue silk/acryl mix and a plain green silk/polyester

wow, this worked out very fine! i’m especially flashed by the side view. how did you manage it not be shorter in the back? i heard that’s often a problem with skirts.

Looks good to me! I like the contrast in textures and amount of shininess.
