Burda Style For people who sew

Skirt
Darts
Pin the darts along the back skirt panels, then stitch to the point. Knot threat ends (a). Press the darts towards the back center (b)

Back center seam
Tip: Apply and press seam stay along the bias cut slit edges of the skirt panels to prevent deforming. Position the back skirt panels on top of each other, the right sides are facing. If you use checkered fabric, pin the matching patterns on top of each other, and pin the needle across the seam. Carefully stitch across the needles, and make sure that the checkered patterns won’t move ©.

Baste the center seam, stitch from the slit down to the bottom. Secure seam ends. Keep the slits basted. Trim allowances and press apart. Cut the basting stitches of the slit (d).
