Ah, Burda 8155. The pencil skirt for the pencil skirt enthusiast. Perfectly shaped, super easy to make and looks great on. You don’t need a toile for this, just a measuring tape to ensure you get the right fit.
Speaking of which, make sure you take your measurements from the actual pattern pieces, rather than the measurement chart. That measurement chart LIES. On my first version of this skirt I learnt the hard way – my waist and hip measurements almost exactly matched those of the size 42, but when I put the darned thing together, it had so much ease that the waistband barely held itself to hips. I downsized to a 38 and increased the width of the front darts by 0.5cm each side (a total of 2cm), which ended up being perfect.
I’m going to try my hand at bound button holes for this skirt’s waistband.
