I like a slim skirt, and I like wrap skirts, and I like Connie Crawford patterns. So, when I saw a pattern for a slim wrap skirt by Connie Crawford in the most recent Butterick release, I was out the door to buy it. This is Butterick 6605. It also has a top, which I have yet to make, but I wanted to review this skirt as soon as I made it, in case I can help anyone else avoid ending up with a Standing Only Skirt. So, what do I mean by a Standing Only Skirt? Well, if you want to sit down in this skirt as originally designed, you will be giving quite the show! I sewed the side seams together, overlapped it where the center fronts matched, and then sat down in it. Oh boy- I would not want to show you a photo of that! It pretty much was open all the way to the crotch. But I will try to show you on the dress form. So, here are the center fronts lining up. Looks good right? Now, imagine that you are sitting and the skirt...
