I just received the September issue of BurdaStyle and this skirt, #106, caught my eye. I think that A-line skirts work reasonably well on pear shapes as they can leave a bit of mystery on the question of how much of the spread is the skirt and how much is the actual bottom under the skirt... ;)
The skirt looks a bit more A-line in the sketch and a bit more straight in this photo. I'll make the longer version (shown here) - not the mini-skirt version being worn by the 5'8", 100 pound, 18-year old model on an earlier page in the magazine.
Not sure what fabric I'll use - definitely something dressy enough for work. Apparently the skirt in this photo is gabardine. And, in the "not sure" category, add the topic of when I'll get around to this one...
But don't worry, I will get to it someday! It's in the queue...
PS - On my last post, Rose asked if my parents were going over a cliff to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The answer is, in a way, yes. We all spent Sunday rock climbing together. On Saturday, before my husband and I were able to join the group, my parents and my sister's family went white water rafting. My parents are not your typical septuagenarians... ;)

A line skirts are great from pear shaped women, especially if like me, you have quite good lower legs as it shows them off while skimming over the curvy hips.
I think that skirt looks lovely, I have been thinking about making it too. Can't wait to see your version!
