The ability to model allows you to sew several completely different skirts using one pattern option. If you like to dance, then patterns of gypsy and Spanish skirts will allow you to sew an outfit for performances yourself. And if you just follow fashion, or prefer your own, purely individual style, then this section will help you always look fashionable and stylish. Moreover, using this skill, you can sew an exclusive dress. There are many styles of skirts: godet, flared, sun, pleated, pleated, Scottish, spiral, mini, midi, maxi, and skirt patterns will allow you to fulfill any fashion fantasies. Below are very interesting and practical options for skirt patterns: patterns of straight skirts, patterns of skirts "Gode", patterns of skirts "Sun", patterns of straight skirts with a cape, patterns of wrap skirts, patterns of skirts with a frill frill, patterns of skirts with an undercut and drapery etc. which are easy to sew and pleasant to wear.
Taking measurements
In mass sewing, to build drawings of patterns, ready-made tables are used, in which the measurements of the necessary parameters of typical figures are entered. For individual tailoring, the use of such tables is impractical, since more accurate and detailed data are required: Another system is used here - the calculation and measurement system, which is based on measuring the distances between certain points of the human body. These distances are called measurements.
To take measurements, you must have a centimeter tape, a pencil and a note book. In this case, certain requirements must be observed: the person from whom measurements are taken must stand relaxed, with a straight posture and arms lowered along the body; the legs should be brought together at the heels, and the socks turned slightly outward (with the slightest deviation to the sides, the measurements may turn out to be inaccurate); when measuring measurements, the centimeter tape must not be tightened or, conversely, loosened; in order to eliminate the distortion of readings, it is advisable to take measurements on linen.
Remember! The accuracy of the pattern drawing and, therefore, the appearance of the product you have sewn depends on the correctness and accuracy of the measurements you have taken.
However, that's not all.
to build a drawing of a skirt, you need to consider which type of physique your figure belongs to. If you have a standard folded figure (smoothly wavy back, the location of the protruding points of the shoulder blades and buttocks at the same level relative to the vertical, moderate notch at the waist and protrusion of the buttocks, normal hip width), then the following measurements are needed to build a skirt drawing
Straight two-seam skirt
Despite the variety of this or that skirt, a straight two-seam skirt is the basis for building many models. This skirt perfectly exists as an independent product and as an integral part of many costumes. After all, it is not for nothing that she is one of the classic models and therefore has rightfully been at the peak of fashion for several decades now. It is suitable for women of any age category, and will also be appropriate both for special occasions and for everyday wear. This skirt can be sewn from almost any type of fabric. However, it is not recommended to sew it from fabrics in a cage, since fitting such a pattern is a significant difficulty. If you decide to sew a skirt made of striped fabric, then when cutting it is necessary to observe the symmetry of the pattern on the front and back panels. A straight two-seam skirt without expansion along the bottom will look a little narrower. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear it to women with low hips.
CONSTRUCTION OF A DESIGN DRAWING OF A STRAIGHT TWO-SEAM SKIRT
To build a drawing (Fig. 14), the following measurements of the figure are required: semi-waist circumference (St), floor at hip circumference (C6) and product length (Dsh) hips (P6). For all sizes they are equal:
Fri = 0.7-1.0 cm, Pb = 1.5-2.0 cm.
In the future, the necessary measurements and increments will be called "initial data".
For the convenience of construction and calculations, we take measurements of a typical figure; St = 38 cm, Se = 52 cm, Dt = 75 cm.
We build a right angle with the vertex at point T. The segment TN corresponds to the length of the skirt and is the middle of the front panel. The segment TB determines the position of the line of the hips and is equal to 13.5-19.5 cm. Through the obtained points B and H, we draw lines perpendicular to the straight line TN. From point B along the line of the hips, we set aside a segment equal to the measurement of the half-girth of the hips (C6) plus an increase in the free fit on the hips (Pb), and set point B1
BB 1 \u003d C6 + Pb \u003d 52 + 2 \u003d 54 cm.
Draw a vertical line through point B 1 until it intersects with the waist line at point T1 and the bottom line at point H1. This straight line is the middle of the back panel. From point B to the right along the line of the hips, set aside BB2
BB 2 = BB1 / 2 - 1 = TT2 = HH2
Draw a vertical line through point B 2 until it intersects with the waist line at point T2 and the bottom line at point H2.

>A classic pencil skirt is an essential part of a woman's wardrobe. Being universal, it is the base of any image, giving it femininity and elegance. The history of its creation surprises with a variety of versions - both Coco Chanel and English women are called the authors of the model. But the popularity of the pencil skirt is uniquely due to Christian Dior, who promoted it to the fashion catwalks in the 40s. How to build a pencil skirt pattern, what models can be created on its basis, you will learn from this article.
We will first need to remove three sizes:
- waist size (OT) - we measure at the narrowest point, tightly clasping the waist with a tape;
- hip volume (OB) - we measure at the most convex places of the buttocks; for ladies with the effect of "riding breeches" we make a measurement for this volume, we use a larger number to build a pattern;
- hip height (WB) - we measure on the side from the waist line to the hip line, after tying a thin tape over them for ease of measurement;
- product length (CI) - measure from the waist to the planned length.
Measurement locations - see the figure below.

Front slit pencil skirt with vertical flounce
For such a model, you first need to build a basic pencil skirt pattern with your own hands or download it on the Internet for your size. For example, on the Anastasia Korfiati website, you can download a skirt pattern for your size.
We copy on tracing paper in front of the skirt in full turn - see drawing.
For a pencil skirt with a cut, draw a vertical line and cut the pattern.
The back part for the skirt of this model does not change, we cut it out of 2 parts according to the basic drawing.
To the narrower part of the front, add an allowance for the slot. Its width is 8 cm, length is 14 cm.
On the larger part of the front we draw a shuttlecock.
We re-shoot all the elements of the shuttlecock on tracing paper and glue it into a common part along the long sides.
With smooth rounding, you need to create a beautiful outer side of the shuttlecock. How to do it correctly is marked in the drawing with a blue line.
cutting
Main fabric:
- front part - 1 pc.;
- front side detail - 1 pc.;
- rear part - 2 pcs.
Black cotton fabric:
- detail for processing a shuttlecock - 1 pc. (on the drawing in blue);
- belt - 1 pc. (length is FROM + 4 cm per clasp, width - 7 cm).
Do not forget to take into account the allowances for the seams of 1.5 cm, for the hem of the bottom - 4 cm. We strengthen the belt with a thermal fabric, cut out without allowances.
How this model is sewn
We fold the large part of the front and the part of black fabric for processing the shuttlecock with the right sides inward.
We sweep their outer edge and the outer edge of the slots. We cut the details, cut off the allowances, turn the shuttlecock inside out. We sweep the shuttlecock along the edge, iron it.
We process the side of the front part with an overlock, turn the allowance - 4 cm - onto the slot, and tack.
We impose the central part of the skirt on the side, aligning along the line and basting.
We adjust along the alignment line to the slots.
Sew a zipper into the back seam. Sweep and stitch the side seams.
We tuck the allowance on the bottom to the wrong side and tuck by hand with a blind seam.
Lay the slot and tack with a hidden seam.
We tack the lower part of the frill along the longitudinal side to the skirt with a hidden seam.
We sew a belt, sew a hook for a fastener.

Leather pencil skirt
A skirt made of leatherette or leather looks great on any type of figure. The main thing is to decide which style and length of the leather pencil skirt suits you. For large women of the 56th or 58th size, you should not sew a short skirt. For them, a long pencil skirt with a slit is better suited.
It should be noted that this type of material is well suited for business style. A tailored jacket or jacket will accentuate your look. A long eco-leather skirt will look interesting with a fur sleeveless jacket and leather boots.
Consider step by step how to sew a leather skirt with an elastic band.
Comment
Keep in mind that not every sewing machine can work with leather. If you have a thin skirt made of eco-leather or leatherette, the sewing process will be simplified. But, if the main material is thick leather, then you will need to sew some seams with an awl.
Measurements on which the pattern is built: CI=45 cm, FROM=67 cm;
We will need:
- leather (eco-leather) - 0.5 m;
- lining fabric - 0.5 m;
- wide elastic band (4 cm) for the belt - 0.7 m;
- hidden zipper;
- sewing machine, scissors, leather needles, chalk.
Description

We mark all the elements on the main material and on the lining. Cut out, leaving allowances of 1.0 - 1.5 cm.
We sweep away the details of the skirt and lining (separately), leaving the seam on the back not stitched.
We sew all the seams, except for the middle one on the back.
We iron the seam allowances in different directions through a cotton fabric or (for rough skin) we tap with a hammer.
We sweep and then stitch the skin and lining along the bottom of the skirt.
Sew a zipper into the center seam on the back. We carry out the central seam of the back.
We sew a belt from a wide elastic band.
Eco-leather skirt is ready!
Question. Hello! On the eve of the New Year, I want to sew such a skirt. Can you tell me how to model it?
Answer. To model this model, you will need templates for the details of the front and back parts of a straight classic skirt. In this case, there is a cascading drapery.
Stage 1. On the front and back of the classic skirt, we mark the line of the coquette. We close the tucks and transfer their solutions to the line of stitching the coquette. Cut off the yoke.
Stage 2. We outline the lines of drapery. According to the model, the drapery is “soft”, so it is better to design curved lines.
Stage 3. We cut the parts along the marked lines.
Stage 4. To form cascading draperies, it is necessary to use the parallel breeding of the obtained parts. The amount of dilution depends on the desired depth of the pleat along the seam of attaching the details of the skirt to the yoke.
There are various options here. You can make the folds all equal in depth, or you can, on the contrary, be different, for example, from deeper to the center to less deep to the side cut.
In the diagram, the blue dotted line shows the side cut. It is possible to design a skirt without a side seam, although the consumption of fabric will be greater.
Stage 5 We design a mold. One fourth circle can be drawn. Different options are also possible in terms of the size of the dilution and the length of the segments.
11Draped skirts
Designs of skirts with drapery are built on the drawing of the basis of a straight skirt. In this case, the tucks turn into drapery. The type of drapery depends on the structure of the fabric. So, silk and wool give volumetric soft drapery, knitwear - flexible, plastic. Drapery from these fabrics easily fits along the oblique and transverse threads. Rigid light fabrics are draped only along the oblique thread, forming clear radial folds.
Model 1 (Fig. 1)
Skirt with drapery along the darts.
Three small, unpressed folds emerge from a slanted, slightly curved dart to create a draped effect.
On the pattern of the front panel of the skirt, the lines of the direction of the folds-draperies are applied (Fig. 2). The pattern is cut along the marked lines and bred to the desired size. The distance between the folds should not be the same: between the first and second it is about 3.5-4 cm, and with each subsequent one it decreases by 0.5 cm compared to the previous one (Fig. 3).
Model 2 (Fig. 4)
Skirt with asymmetrical draping at the front.
With asymmetrical drapery, the pattern of the front panel of the skirt is built in full size. The draping can be positioned from the waist line to the hip line and below. If it passes below the hip line, then for greater elegance, the skirt is narrowed down along the side seams by 2-3 cm on each side. On the pattern, an undercut line is marked along which the draping folds will be located (Fig. 2). It is undesirable to place them at the extreme points of the lodrez line, it is necessary to step back 2-3 cm. Libyas are drawn from the undercut line to the side seam, which determine the direction of the folds.
First, cut the pattern of the front panel of the skirt along the undercut line (Fig. 3) and close the tuck on its left side, and then along the marked drapery lines. The width of the folds is from 3.5 to 4.5 cm.
The back panel of the skirt is left unchanged.

Skirts are in every woman's wardrobe, because they are represented by such a wide variety of models and styles that every woman can find a suitable skirt that fits her figure perfectly and allows you to create the desired image. Some styles of skirts are more popular, others are less common, but each skirt model deserves the attention of fashionistas, as such clothes emphasize femininity and express the individuality of its owner.
Popular styles
Pencil
This skirt is deservedly called a classic, since this style has been loved by women for many decades and is found in most women's wardrobes. Classic skirts of this type are knee-length, slightly narrowed at the bottom, and have a small slit in the middle at the back. Nevertheless, very long pencil skirts, and mini-models, and items planted at the waist, and skirts with a high or low waist are also very common.
Modern skirts of this style are not only strict, but also trimmed with drapery, flounces, embroidery, pleats and other additional elements. In addition, a slit on such a skirt may be present both from the sides and from the front.
If at one time the “pencil” skirt was sewn mainly from dense black, gray or other plain, discreet fabric, then today you can buy such skirts made of cotton, velvet, denim, suede, leather, lace and other materials, and the colors can be very bright. Also in some models there are eye-catching vertical inserts.
Tulip
The name of the skirt of this style is associated with the similarity of products with an inverted cup of a tulip. Smoothly embracing the girl's waist and gently flowing around the figure in the hips, this skirt looks feminine and gentle.
The style was created in the 60s of the 20th century on the basis of puffy long skirts, in which the hem was turned up and hemmed inside. At that time, the tulip skirt was sewn only to the knee length, and also had a smell, thanks to which the product looked like tulip petals. Now there are many more options for a tulip skirt.
A tulip skirt is sewn mainly from soft materials that can smoothly lie down on the figure and drape with ease. Most often, such skirts are chosen for spring and summer, which affects the color range of products.
The length of the skirt of this style can be short, very long, and medium. Skirts look unusual, the front part of which is shortened, and there is a train at the back. The belt of a tulip skirt can sit at the waist, be lowered a little lower or overstated. Many models do not have a smell in the front, and to give volume in the hips, modern skirts use pleats, pockets, draperies and other details.
Barrel
The main difference between the products of this style is the presence of additional volume both at the bottom of the skirt and at the waist. A barrel skirt always has a lining, because it is due to the different widths of the main fabric and the lining material that gathers and folds form along the bottom of the models, making the skirt look like a barrel. The length of such skirts is often midi or mini, while short skirts are more often chosen by young girls. You can combine a barrel skirt with a top, T-shirt, blouse, turtleneck or longsleeve.
Bell
The name of such a skirt is due to its external resemblance to a bell, since it is narrow at the waist and expands downwards. The first skirts of this style began to be worn as early as the 17th century. Their length reached the floor, and the skirt itself was worn over many petticoats. In modern skirts of this type, the length is very different, including models above the knees.
These days, bell skirts are one of the most popular due to their comfort and practicality. Most often, such a skirt is bought for the warm season, since its special cut allows the legs to “breathe”, however, there are also winter models.
For sewing a bell skirt, materials with a hard texture are used, for example, linen, wool, leather and similar fabrics. The main feature of the style is the extension of the skirt down without the use of drapery or folds, so prints and various patterns are often found on the bell skirt.
The sun
According to its design, the skirt of this cut is represented by a circle of fabric, in which there is a hole for the waist. For its manufacture, both one cut and several cuts of material sewn together can be used. Such a simple model comes in different lengths - from ultra-mini to models to heels.
The most common skirts are the sun, which have an elastic band. Models with a tight belt and a zipper located on the side or back are also in demand. The materials for such skirts are a variety of fabrics, such as silk or chiffon. In colors and patterns, such skirts are also not limited. Women of fashion buy both plain models and skirts of the "sun" style with abstract patterns, appliqués, floral patterns, embroidery and other decor.
Most sun skirts have a single layer, but there are also multi-layer models made of lightweight fabrics. Such skirts are often chosen for special occasions. In addition, flounces and ruffles can often be seen on modern sun skirts.
Half-sun skirt
The skirt of this style belongs to flared skirts and differs from the "sun" in that, when unfolded, such a skirt is represented by a half circle. That is why the half-sun skirt has at least one seam or there is often a smell. Such skirts were especially popular in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, as they helped create the hourglass silhouette.
Models of the half-sun skirt differ in the upper part - they are on elastic and on a yoke, fastened with a zipper or buttons, as well as with a wide or thin belt. The length of the skirt of this style is different - and medium, and ultra-short, and long (sometimes even with a train).
Summer models of half-sun skirts are sewn from silk, denim, satin, cotton and other light materials, and for winter skirts of this type, corduroy, jacquard and wool are most in demand. The evening version of the "semi-sun" is created from satin and various expensive fabrics.
Blade
Products of this style are a bit like the sun, but the main difference is that they are cut out not from a single piece of full, but from wedges. The number of such wedges varies and depends on the figure. By choosing the right number of wedges, a girl can perfectly fit the skirt to her figure, emphasizing her dignity. The most common are six-blade, but models of 4, 8 or 12 wedges are no less common. This skirt can be worn both for work and for a celebration.
godet
Such a skirt is one of the variations of the blade, combining the features of both a flared skirt and a pencil style. In the upper part, the skirt-year is straight and sits on the figure, and then, thanks to the set-in 4-12 wedges, it expands downwards. In this case, the wedges are both from the same material, and a completely different color or texture. Waist in year-skirts can be low or higher than usual.
Skirts of this type became popular in the 60s of the 20th century. Nowadays, this style is especially in demand for creating evening dresses. Modern year skirts are made from different fabrics, such as viscose, cotton, denim or jacquard. Their length most often falls slightly below the knees. There are also floor-length skirts, but mini-skirts of this style do not exist.
tutu
Although such a skirt appeared more than 200 years ago, for a long time it was worn only by dancers and ballerinas. Now tutu skirts appear in the everyday wardrobe of women. At the same time, they are worn mostly by slender and graceful girls under 35 years old, since tutus look out of place on older ladies or with curvaceous forms.
The skirt of this style looks elegant and light. It does not interfere with movements and opens slender legs, since it is most often represented by a mini length, although there are medium-length tutu skirts, below the knees and even floor-length.
For sewing such a skirt, mostly translucent thin materials, such as tulle or chiffon, are in demand. A pack may have one layer, but more often such a skirt is sewn in layers. Of great interest to fashionistas are tutu skirts with many tiers, when the upper tiers are shorter than the lower ones.
The most popular color scheme for a tutu skirt is pastel. In a skirt of this tone, the girl looks tender, airy and fragile. Black and white packs are also in demand.
Silhouettes
A-line, straight
Straight skirts began to be worn in the 19th century, and at first they were extremely long and narrowed models, so it was very uncomfortable to move around in them. The most famous straight skirt is the "pencil". It is often included in a business wardrobe, but since it is very versatile, such a skirt can be seen in everyday ensembles and in outfits for going out.
In a straight skirt, the figure looks very feminine. Its length can be very different, the waist can be both high and slightly lower, and different inserts, embroidery, belt, pockets and other details can be used to finish straight skirts.
Winter straight skirts are usually made from warm knitwear and wool, while summer models are made from lightweight materials that support the shape, such as suiting or denim.
As for the A-line skirts, their advantages are the ability to visually lengthen the legs and emphasize the waist area. Such skirts are often complemented with frills and wide pleats, as well as pleating. Models expanding downwards are presented in different lengths and are sewn from a wide variety of materials.
Narrow, tight
Narrow models began to be worn from the 30s of the 19th century instead of voluminous long skirts with many petticoats. These skirts fit the figure of a woman tightly and emphasize seductive curves, as well as slender legs. The most popular narrow skirt these days is called the pencil style model with a narrower cut.
A narrow skirt can be both short and of considerable length. For its sewing, one cut or several wedges can be used. Not all skirts of this silhouette are narrowed down - there are also straight models. In addition, these skirts differ in belt options, for example, their belt is classic, understated or located above.
For tailoring narrow models, dense fabrics are usually used that can maintain their shape well. These are denim, jacquard, satin, tight knitwear, suit fabric, wool, chintz. The color of the skirt is chosen depending on the purpose of the model, for example, gray, beige, black and other neutral tones are typical for tight-fitting business style skirts.
Tapered, flared
Flared skirts appeared in women's wardrobes in the 19th century in the 20s and initially had only a large length. Unlike the sun skirt, flared models are narrow at the top, and widen from the middle part of the hips due to the presence of wedges. Modern flared skirts are short, medium length and floor length, and the number of wedges in different models is different.
For sewing such skirts, a wide variety of materials are used, depending on the time of year. Summer models are often bright, sewn from airy flowing fabrics. For winter flared skirts, a modest solid color and dense materials that drape are used.
Wide, fluffy
Such skirts have always been considered elegant and feminine. In the past, the width of the skirt was provided by the use of a large number of petticoats and other structures with considerable weight. Now the splendor of the skirt is created with the help of flounces, several tiers, different assemblies and many folds.
To create wide skirts, different materials are used, the colors of which are both monophonic and with patterns, for example, with images of flowers, various ornaments, animals or oriental motifs.
The length of wide skirts is medium and short, but most often such skirts are represented by long models. At the same time, such skirts expand either from the waist, or from the hips, or from the knees. These skirts can have belts, slits and various inserts. Thanks to their use, you can visually lengthen the silhouette and create a romantic look.
Popular Models
high waisted
Such skirts have been worn since antiquity, and today models with a raised waist are especially loved for their ability to visually adjust the female figure. In such a skirt, the waist visually narrows, and the hips are smoothly emphasized, resulting in a feminine and elegant silhouette. In addition, short girls like high-waisted models, as they are able to visually add a few centimeters of height.
With the help of such a skirt, you can create absolutely any image, because the high waist is found in almost all styles. Pencil skirts, fluffy skirts and tulip skirts, in which the waist is too high, are especially loved by fashionistas.
Skirts with a slightly higher waist line are diverse not only due to their style, but also due to different materials, and thanks to interesting colors and decor. They also differ in their length and can be supplemented with belts, belts and other accessories.
Low waist
Such a modern skirt model attracts with the absence of a belt and the ability to lower the skirt below the waist. She is primarily interested in girls who have a thin waist, as it helps to emphasize the harmony of this part of the figure. However, such a skirt also has the property of hiding a wide waist.
The style of skirts with a low waist are straight and flared. Low-waisted pencil skirts used in a business wardrobe are very popular. Also in great demand are light summer casual models, which are often worn for a walk or on the beach.
The length of skirts with a low waist can be different - both models in the floor and short skirts are equally in demand. Summer skirts of this type are sewn from airy fabrics, and dense warm materials are used for winter models. At the same time, classic strict skirts are mainly presented in plain fabric or geometric prints, and for everyday and beach models, bright colors and catchy patterns are chosen.
With smell
The main detail of this type of skirt, which gives the model an original, individual and sexy look, is the smell. The style and length of wrap skirts can be different, it can be both wide models and narrow products, both long skirts and short models. Wrap skirts are finished using darts, folds, pockets and other elements.
A similar skirt can be worn both for work and for a party or a celebration. For the manufacture of wrap skirts, fabrics with different textures and very diverse colors are used. Summer models are sewn mainly from bright airy and thin fabrics, and winter wrap skirts are made from material with a high density without a pattern or with a striped or checkered print.
With pleats
The first skirts of this type appeared in Scotland and were worn by men, but now loose skirts with many pleats are very loved by women and are found in the wardrobes of many fashionistas. The number of folds in different models is different, but all pleated skirts look original, feminine and attractive.
Pleats on such skirts can go in one direction, as well as be oncoming or directed in different directions with an indefinite order. In addition, the folds are wide and narrow, group, asymmetric, straight, fan-shaped, slightly overstitched. They can start from the belt itself or below.
For tailoring skirts with pleats, materials are used that can maintain their shape, such as linen or wool. The colors of skirts of this type are different, but prints are most often represented by a cage or longitudinal stripes.
Basque
The main detail of such a skirt is represented by a small piece of fabric (up to 30 cm) sewn to the belt. It is she who is called Basque. It is interesting that they came up with such an element for men's vests, but now the peplum adorns women's skirts and dresses.
In such a skirt, a woman looks romantic, stylish and gentle. You can wear it to the office and to a party. Models with a peplum are very diverse due to the different style of the skirt itself, as well as a different type of peplum. This detail can strictly lie on top of the skirt in the form of a flap of fabric, but in most cases it descends from the belt in soft waves.
Basques are also often made in the form of ruffles or wings.
The length of skirts in which there is a peplum is different, and the colors are often monophonic. Thanks to such clothes, you can adjust the figure, making the forms more rounded and smooth. At the same time, the peplum model looks best on girls whose figure resembles a rectangle or an hourglass.
With flounces
This loose skirt is in high demand right now. The presence of flounces makes such a model lush, so that the skirt looks romantic and tender. It is more often worn at a meeting with friends or a party, but if desired, a skirt with flounces can be successfully entered into a business wardrobe. Such models are especially in demand among thin women who want to add volume to the figure, as well as broad-shouldered girls who want to balance the silhouette.
The skirt itself can be both long and short, and the frills on it can be presented in one row along the hem of the product or in many layers along the entire length of the skirt. Straight flounces are more common, but in some models they are asymmetric.
For sewing summer skirts with flounces, cotton fabric, silk, chiffon and similar materials are used, and winter models of such skirts are made from dense fabrics. At the same time, business skirts are predominantly presented in beige and black models, while casual models come in any color and with different prints.
With lightning
The zipper is found on different styles of skirts, but most often it can be seen on narrow models and on straight skirts. In this case, the zipper can be short and present only in the upper part of the product in front or behind, but there are skirts that are fastened with a zipper for their entire length. Unbuttoning it from below, you can create a cut of the desired length. Also, in some skirts, the zipper is sewn in obliquely.
For sewing such skirts, mainly dense materials are used. Very often, denim and leather skirts are decorated with lightning. The color of skirts with a zipper is different, but black models are most popular.
Pleated and corrugated
Such skirts are distinguished by the presence of a large number of one-sided small folds. They can often be seen on little girls and schoolgirls, but this style cannot be called frivolous at all. Having picked up a model with the right material, a pleated skirt can even fit into a business wardrobe.
The length of pleated skirts can be different - both to the floor, and below the knees, and in the "mini" version. Since folds are the main decoration of the product, there are no other decorative elements on such skirts, with the exception of a thin belt that can fall just below the waist. As for the color of the pleated skirt, the most popular are monochromatic models (pastel and black for business style, bright ones for evening dresses), as well as products with small prints.
What style of skirt to choose?
In choosing the most successful and suitable styles of skirts, girls should, first of all, evaluate their own figure. Depending on the body type, some styles will look better on a woman, while other models should be avoided.
Hourglass
Girls with an hourglass figure are lucky to be able to wear a skirt of any length. If the legs are attractive and slender, feel free to wear short models. On such a figure, skirts with a high waist line, complemented by a small belt, fit perfectly. They are best worn with a classic blouse tucked in. Other most successful models of skirts for girls whose figure looks like an hourglass are:
- Pencil skirts. In them, the hourglass figure will look especially attractive due to the emphasis on the waist. The optimal length is a few centimeters below the knees.
- A-line skirts. This is another most successful version of skirts for a girl with such a physique. This A-line skirt will suit any woman, regardless of her age or height.
- Half-sun skirts. Such feminine models should be selected with a small belt or no belt at all. The best addition would be a blouse, a classic shirt or a sweater.
- Skirts-pants. Girls with this physique are well suited for models with a diagonal cut or with a slightly low waist. When it comes to fabrics, the best option would be a material that can accentuate the curves of the hips, such as thick cotton fabric, denim, woolen fabric or suede.
- Wrap skirts. They emphasize the hourglass silhouette and are often chosen for the summer period, so these skirts are usually sewn from lightweight fabrics.
- Volumetric tiered skirts. When choosing such models, it is important not to miscalculate with the length, so as not to look ridiculous in an excessively long or short skirt. They wear a skirt of this kind with a modest top.
