I finished the second Burda skirt this AM.  I inserted the zipper yesterday evening, using an invisible zipper in the side seam.  This time I placed the zipper from the top edge appropriately, the first skirt I was off on that.
I love the fit of the second skirt because I finally determine the right size for the skirt.  The first one was too big.  I actually tried on the first skirt the other morning thinking I would wear it to work.  It was still too big.  It sat on my hip but that threw everything else off.  I hate that I have to undo so much stitching to make another tweak.  I may just "cheat" and take back tucks at waistline.  I plan to wear a top over the skirt, not tucked in so only me, the dry cleaner and dear readers you will know if I do that.
I took a "booty" shot of my new skirt as I do like the way it fits my back waist and hip.  I did not do my usual sway back adjustment for this skirt as the back seams seem to curve inward at that area making it unnecessary.  I will post photos later.
