BURDA sewing pattern 6491 is a skirt design that lets you sew a midi or maxi length with a dramatic, bell-like flare and smooth drape. The silhouette comes from a bias cut, and a shaped waistband helps the skirt sit comfortably and maintain a flattering fit through the waist and hips. Use a fabric that behaves well on the bias, let pieces hang before hemming when possible, and finish seams neatly to support the skirt’s flow.
