Here is a skirt to go with the Burda 8856 blouse. I just finished view E in a size 10. Let me just say I love it and it fit with minimal alterations. The only thing I had to do was take some of the curve out of the side seam, since I am very rectangular-shaped in that area. I used a linen/cotton blend and lined each of the skirt panel pieces with white muslin for opacity. I have not inserted a lap zipper in at least the last 2 years, so I am happy with the fact that the yoke lined up nicely, but the topstitching gets a little wider as you get closer to the top of the waistband. I don't think it is very noticeable, so I can live with it. This would be the second piece of my mini-wardrobe, if I decide to enter the contest mentioned here.

Love the skirt and top combo. Really nice looking skirt and fits you very well.
Very cute skirt. I'll bet it is fun to walk in with the flounce at the bottom swirling as you move.
