I wanted to try this pattern and find out, if the shape suits me. I’m satisfied, also I don’t have a wesp-waist. I really liked the fabric and thought I would be good for the Marie pattern. It is like linen and unfortunately crinkles easy. And I added black lace! You can grade up everything with some lace :D
By the way: I’m wearing my JJ blouse, which I finally repaired (I had to take out the whole back-part!) – only for those who were asking what I’m doing the whole holidays ;)
Edit: I added some pics with the skirt after ironing ;)
cotton, flow like linen
Burda for the great pattern. I’m thinking about selling this skirt – it is, allowed, isnt it?

Gorgeous color!
I really like the shape of that skirt.
And the black lace makes everything look even better.
Great job!

Marie and JJ work wonderfully together. Great skirt, and good to hear that you repaired your JJ.

Very pretty/interesting skirt. It looks nice with your JJ.

I cut out size 36, but the waistband is size 38 or 40 I think, because I’m not so small around the waist.

This looks adorable! I’m not a big fan of this pattern, but I like to see in you, because is not so tight at the waist. Did you make it more big or make some alteration?
