This is an old review, but I really like this skirt. If you can get a hold of the Burda Plus, I think it would be a nice addition to TNT patterns. 
UPDATE:
I added the picture. As you can see, it's not nearly as formfitting on me as on the model. I really think it's more flattering that way.

My orange t-shirts in all their orange glory. This t-shirt really isn't Kwik Sew 2565 any more. I think I'm going to scoop the neckline out even more, and I don't have the neckband length right. It's too long. Of course, that is trial and error since I'm redrafting the…
