Suggested fabric
The pattern is adapted for woven fabrics. Most light weight woven fabrics are suitable for this model. Cotton, linen, light weight wool, viscose fabrics, silk and polyester, patterned or plain – choose what you like best. Firmer fabrics give a stiffer and larger impression, soft fabrics cause the skirt to fall in a nice way.
Some fabrics can shrink in the wash, so please wash your piece of fabric before cutting.
Fabrics are almost always 140 – 150 cm (55-59 in) wide. Calculate how long a piece of fabric you need.
Learn to make a length calculation according to the model below. You can also bring your traced pattern pieces to the fabric store if you need some help.
1 skirt length = measure from the waist down to the (supposed) hem of the skirt you want.
Full circle skirt – 2,5 skirt lengths (fabric and lining count equally). Add 10 cm (4 inches) extra to each skirt length.
Example in cm: Your skirt should be 60 cm long from the waist.
60 cm x 2,5 + 25 cm = 175 cm (1,75 m).
Example in inches: Your skirt should be 23,6 inches long from the waist.
23,6 in x 2,5 + 9,8 = 68,8 in
Note! Size 42, 44 and 46 require that the fabric width is at least 150 cm (59 in) wide! If the fabric is narrower or if you want the skirt longer than on the pattern, you need to splice the skirts fabric in the side at the bottom (applies to all sizes).
Half circle skirt – 2 skirt lenghts (fabric and lining count equally). Add 10 cm (4 inches) extra to each skirt length.
Example in cm: Your skirt should be 60 cm long from the waist.
60 cm x 2 + 20 cm= 140 cm (1,40 m).
Example in inches: Your skirt should be 23,6 inches long from the waist.
23,6 in x 2 + 7,9 in = 55,1 in.
