Burda 09-2008-120 Pencil Skirt Part II

So, after looking at these photos I think it's okay. What do you guys think though?




I've been doing quite a bit of lifting lately. Hence the ponytail.


I have quite a bit of business sewing to do but after that it's on to the April Burda. There are a couple of things in there that I need to make.

  3. I like the length. I'd leave it. I think it's a good proportion - the length of the top helps, too. It just works. Really cute, too. Almost too bad you can't see the lining.

  4. Pfft - no, it's adorable! Particularly with the boots, I think you have just the right proportions going on. Any longer, and it's just a showcase for your knees (not that you don't have cute knees!). Another winner. :)

  5. I think it looks great! Not too short,and definitely not "mutton dressed as lamb".

    And, great guns girlfriend! Going for the Shelly O look, eh? :)

  7. I think your skirt looks great, nice fabric. I wonder why you didn't like the pleats from the pattern? Your biceps are sooo impressive by the way

  8. I think it looks great! The length is great the way you are wearing it, not too young at all - might be different on you with heels but with flats or your boots it looks good. You have great legs too so why not show them? :-)

  10. Hi Dawn, great skirt and the length looks good on you. I'm also admiring your long sleeved knit top with loose polo neck - did you sew this as well? We are heading into winter dOWN uNDER and I've been looking for a similar pattern - hoping it might be a BWOF, Jalie or KWIK-SEW as these are available here. No urgency though as it is still unseasonally hot today!

  14. It looks great! I would totally wear it to church, so why not to teach? :-) You could always wear dark tights with it for a little more leg coverage.

  19. Take View 1, add black tights and sexy black pumps and you could be an assistant editor at a fashion magazine. Or a publishing babe.
