BURDA Style sewing pattern 6116 helps you sew a tiered skirt that is slim at the hips and wider toward the hem, finished with an elastic waist for easy wear. Choose between a longer skirt for dressier styling or a shorter skirt for casual outfits, and the fabric guide includes cottons, blends, linen, or crêpe fabrics. Test elastic length for comfort before closing the casing, and press tier seams evenly so the gathers or tiers sit smoothly.
