I've finally finished my skirt from the simplicity 3688 pattern.
I used a medium weight wool with a check pattern. I managed to match the lines up reasonably well and I'm please at how it came together overall.
There are more pictures on flickr and on my blog, and a full pattern review over at Sewing Pattern Review.
I'd highly recommend the skirt pattern and I'm going to be making another skirt from it soon and then trousers when I'm done with that.
