Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I loved all the Marie creations and decided to make one myself, but when finished did not like the high waist on myself. But I really like the skirt’s pleats and elegant volume (almost baggy from the side), so I wear it with a top over it. Does anyone else have trouble walking in their Marie?

I love your Marie! I have trouble walking in mine aswell and getting in and out of my car.

The need to have room for walking was one of my reasons for making my Marie with an unpleated back with a slit. Yours looks quite good, though.

wow! I love the color. Your skirt looks very nice and I love the way you wear it. and.. yes, I do when I’m in hurry (but it’s kinda OK).
