Since mine is still in the stack waiting to be sewn, it's not too late to add one to the side seams.<br /><br />I was thinking that the whole drape with the buttons thing would work for my (hopefully) decreasing size, just by moving the buttons from time to time (putting a hook on the inside).<br /><br />Hmmm....meredithphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683287411020125224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-5626158427552942962009-12-03T12:29:44.134-05:002009-12-03T12:29:44.134-05:00Contagious is right!

I am relatively new to sewing and have found that if I use a pattern back and my measurements, I am drowning in the finished product. I ususually search for the finished measurements, which work better for me. I was just wondering if you found the Burda measurement/size chart accurate or if you made adjustments? Thanks in advance - absolutely LOVE reading your blog. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15179163940287149830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-28746070712283689002009-12-02T09:24:00.165-05:002009-12-02T09:24:00.165-05:00That skirt looks great on you!!!That skirt looks great on you!!!Marthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-43904736509156810212009-12-02T08:44:20.504-05:002009-12-02T08:44:20.504-05:00Looks great!Looks great!NuJoi1908http://seamsenjoiable.vox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1605676607158607422009-12-02T08:32:10.538-05:002009-12-02T08:32:10.538-05:00Very slimming from the back and pretty from the fr...Very slimming from the back and pretty from the front.

I wish I had your comfort level with the Big 4, but that's where I am with BWOF - I know what my size is, I know the standard changes I have to make. And after getting about 2/3 of the way there before stopping for the night, I decided that if I made it again, I would put either a side zip or a back zip into it and tack that drape down rather than doing it their way. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your finished skirt.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449229622474314815noreply@blogger.com
