Sizing

Supplies

Fabric - You will need light to medium weight woven fabric for the skirt (e.g. cotton, linen, taffeta, crepe de chine, rayon). The skirt is very full so heavier fabrics will not work as they will pull, and the waistband will not sit correctly. You can use a knit/stretch fabric for the skirt if you wish, however you will need to either use a contrasting woven fabric for the front waistband, or if you wish to use the same stretch fabric, use a medium/heavy weight interfacing on the front waistband to stop it from stretching. It is also a good idea with knit/stretch fabrics to hang your nearly completed skirt for a few days after Step 6, before hemming. That way the fabric can rest, and you can adjust your hem length to ensure the skirt is the length you wish. The skirt pieces for women's sizes 6 to 15C are too wide to fit across 115cm/45 inch wide fabric. They require 150cm/60 inch wide fabric. If you wish to use 45 inch wide fabric, and it is a woven fabric, there are a few other options you can follow. See the Cutting Instructions for how to deal with these.
