Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Aaaah, I love this skirt! It goes together like a dream and I didn’t need to make any major fitting alterations. I did however tweak the waist-band. I’m making the Jenny dress as well at the moment, and when I tried on the dress the bias-cut waist-band was a bit baggy, so I did this waist-band on the straight grain, and it fits perfectly! I can imagine making loads of these skirts, it’s so comfy! If I was to change anything I would probably thin down the width of the waist-band for a more day-time look.
Material Notes
Some kind of linen/poly-cotton blend, with a smidge of strech.
