You will need:
- 2 yds of Fashion fabric, 45″ wide

- 1 closed skirt zipper, 5″ long
- 2 sets of hook & eyes, size 0
- Coordinating thread

PATTERN
Measure your waist and use R from chart to draw an arc from intersecting right angle. (90°)
For each tier, add 5 inch intervals to R. eg. R + 5″; R + 10″; R + 15″
To create the arc, use string and pencil as a compass and measure the string length equal to the tier lengths above. Attach string to push pin anchored at intersection (●). Holding string taut, draw arc from horizontal line to vertical line. Repeat with new lengths for each tier.
Trace off each layer separately on paper and add ½” hem and seam allowances.
For waistband, measure a line equal to your waist plus 1 ½”. Draw a parallel line 3″ next to it and join the ends of both lines. Add ½” seam allowance to perimeter.
Grainlines are parallel to horizontal lines of draft on all pieces.
CUTTING
Cut each tier 2x self in fashion fabric. *
Cut waistband 1X self in fashion fabric.
Cut waist interfacing 1X fusible in Pellon®

* If you wish a crinoline for this skirt (like that one featured on the model), use the third layer pattern piece and cut it 1-inch longer. Cut 2X in netting. Join side seams using a French seam technique and leave 5″ slit opening on left-hand side at waist. Overcast or bind waistline of crinoline. Sew a narrow “india” tape to the waist and leave 12-15 inches “loose” ties on either side of the slit opening.
