Checked Marie Skirt

I recently finished this voluminous skirt, using the BurdaStyle pattern Marie. The pattern fits this fall season's sculptural trend, especially when using heavy fabrics like this one. I found the fabric at a thrift store and used an underlining to prevent itchiness. The fit is pretty loose and, be forewarned, does nothing to decrease the appearance of the hips. The hem circumference is narrow and constrains walking a bit. It was pretty easy to put together although I had some problems understanding the directions. I would make this skirt again. I'd like to try a short party version.
