Initially, determine the length of the future product. For this, you will be assisted by a mirror. You need to put the fabric of the future skirt to yourself and looking at your reflection determine the desired length of the American skirt.
In this example, the length of the product is 55 cm.
Immediately decide how many tiers will be. Take into account, each tier should be longer than the previous one for a couple of centimeters. For example, if the top rim with a length of 55 cm, it means that the second under him should be already 57, the subsequent 59 and so on.
Then go to the patterns. By and large, sewing should start from the lower tier. Gradually, overlap and tie one another over the tier of the future skirt. The last upper tier will be the fabric chosen by you, which will act as the face of the product.
The skirt can be made on an elastic band of medium thickness( 2-3cm).
lower tier "American" can be made of chiffon, alternating it with the conventional cloth backing.
The lining fabric goes first, it is she who will contact the skin. Chiffon can cause usual irritation, prick, in other words, create discomfort. Therefore, it goes as a second tier.
