Lotsa Bow

Burdastyle 4/2010/111 Skirt
  • Cotton sateen in gunmetal gray from EOS. This is seriously the most wonderful sateen I have ever worked with. It has the drape of charmeuse with the weight of sateen. Not stiff at all.
  • The pattern suggests if your fabric does not have 2 good sides, then the tie band should be faced. I did what I was told and I got lotsa bow. See picture below.
  • Great pattern, really sweet pleats, and I imagine this would look great with a basic white blouse or even black.
  • This was a Burda tall style. Um. I am not even an average size, so I had to adjust length considerably to maintain the tulip look.
  • I love it.
  • If I am going to have any detail at the stomach area, better a bow than my love handles.
  • :)





Whoa. Lotsa Bow.
Happy Easter All!

  12. It looks gorgeous, I love the pattern too, but am still deciding if it would work for me. I know it is a royal pain but is there any chance of seeing it on you?
