It's got one seam at the CB, so I guess it's some kind of circle skirt. And friend just recently wore a white linen knee-length skirt with a similar design that was so simple, chic and summery. You can see the Burda pattern here: http://www.burdastyle.ru/model/2013-burda-4-122Tia Diahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622901192302670927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-90726317229929817832013-06-06T08:24:05.803-04:002013-06-06T08:24:05.803-04:00Is that a young Christie Brinkley modelling the sh...Is that a young Christie Brinkley modelling the shirt?donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-11296436453625714672013-06-03T07:47:38.572-04:002013-06-03T07:47:38.572-04:00What a great idea to skip the spin cycle - that ma...What a great idea to skip the spin cycle - that makes sense.<br />I will do that the next time I am prepping linen.a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-35279734654263790602013-06-03T02:45:21.268-04:002013-06-03T02:45:21.268-04:00I wear this bias linen skirt often:

Very easy to sew and easy to wear.<br />I copied the hem finish (simply serged, then a 1" bias strip sewn over the serged edge) from a similar Eileen Fisher skirt.<br /><br />It works well w/ medium-weight linens.<br /><br />If it is beefier, then perhaps a straight skirt w/ pockets (like jeans or chinos, only a skirt)?badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-48425034256692557002013-06-02T21:40:58.736-04:002013-06-02T21:40:58.736-04:00Les coutures françaises sont de loin mes préférées...Les coutures françaises sont de loin mes préférées.

She washes the garment without spinning it. Then hang it up and smooth out the pants or what ever it is and air dry. No pressing. I am making some linen pieces this year as well, and a pair of white linen cropped pants are on my list too. There is something quintessentially summer about linen, wrinkles and all.
