Lesson

1 Ladies’ Skirt

( Draft and Cut Patterns for Ladies’ Skirt)

Take Client’s Body Measurements

Skirt is a free hanging part of an outer garment or undergarment extending

from the waist down to a particular length of the garment.

Ladies skirts are of different styles, types and shapes. The names of the skirt

signify its shape or design. They are worn to cover the lower part of the body. A

dressmaker can make any style and design on the skirt in different ways based on

the figure of the client. However, be careful in wearing skirt which is only suitable

for some specific blouses or tops.

What’s In

Review

1. What are the different principles of design?

2. Differentiate the structural design from decorative design.

3. Explain the five elements of design.

4. Discuss the seven (7) figure types.

What’s New

Definition of Terms:

Circular - having the form of a circle Drape - adorn, cover or wrap loosely with folds of cloth Flounce - a strip of pleated material used as a decoration or a trim. Fly - an opening at the crotch of a pair of pants closed with a zipper or buttons and typically covered with flap. Gored skirt - a type of A-line skirt with many triangular panels sewn together. Have a softer fit around the hip and create a loose, flowing bell shape at the hem. Knife Pleat - a single pleat turned in one direction.

8

Layered skirt – also called tiered skirt which have layers of fabric attach to each other at the hem line. The length of each layer may be the same or may vary. Peplum - a strip of material around the waist of a jacket, dress, or blouse that hangs down as a decoration. Pleat - a fold of definite, even width made by doubling cloth or the like upon itself and pressing or stitching it in place. Pucker - tightly gather or contract into wrinkles or small folds. Sarong - a loose-fitting skirtlike garment formed by wrapping a strip of cloth around the lower part of the body, worn by both men and women in the Malay Archipelago and certain islands of the Pacific Ocean. Semi-circle - forming a shape like a half circle. Sheath - closely envelopes the figure / body Suit - a set of clothes made of the same material and usually consisting of

a jacket and pants or skirt. Sunray Pleat - knife pleat cut on the bias to produce a flared effect Wrap-around - made to fold around or across the body so that one side of the garment overlaps the other forming the closure.

What is It

Basic Categories of Styles of Skirt:

1. Straight skirt - referred to as a pencil skirt, this skirt is a straight line with no flare or fullness at the hem or waistline. It is a slim-fitting skirt with a straight, narrow cut line. Generally the hem falls to, or just below the knee and is tailored for a close fit. It is named for its shape: long and slim like a pencil. a. Short Straight Skirt is a skirt style just above the knee and it gives a flattering effect to the wearer. However, there are super short straight skirt such as the micro-mini, which are becoming to those who have slim and long- legged figures. b. Long Straight Skirt is best when they end to the part of the legs that begins to

taper. 2. A-Line/ Flared Skirt is a skirt fuller at the hem than at the waist and probably the best style for most women. Its silhouette is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider toward the bottom thereby resembling the letter A. It may be fitted at the waist, high hip, and full hip. It works well on women with small waist and good for those with full-hipped figures. 3. Gored Skirt is a style of skirt consists of four, six, eight or more gores shaped to flare from waist to hem. This is very classical, and is always in fashion. It’s one of

the most flattering styles. Its vertical lines create an illusion of height and slimness. A gored skirt can be either straight or A-line, depending on the contours of the gores. For a slim woman, a gored style which is fitted at the waist and hips and flares at the hem line is best suited. While A-line is best for you, if the skirt with gores flare from waist or high hip which is emphasized by the shaped and curvy gores.

9

4. Pleated/ Tucked Skirt is a type of skirt which has pleats that create refined vertical line while softening the figure. Skirt with all around pleats is best for slim, narrow-hipped figures. a. Box pleated skirt – a double pleat having two upper folds facing in opposite directions and two under folds pressed toward each other. b. Fix box pleated skirt- a flat double pleat made by folding under the fabric on either side of it. c. Knife pleated skirt- a sharply creased narrow pleat, usually one of a series folded in the same direction. d. Accordion pleated skirt- a series of narrow, evenly spaced parallel pleats with alternating raised and recessed folds set into skirt usually by a commercial pleating machine. 5. Gathered Skirt usually gathers at the waist and visually adds weight and bulk to any figure. a. Layered Skirt - – also called tiered skirt which have layers of fabric attach to each other at the hem line. The length of each layer may be the same or may vary.

Body Measurements for a Skirt

1. Waistline Measurement. Run the tape measure around the waistline. (A) This is the measurement around the smallest part of your waist. You can tie a string around to find the smallest part. Wrap the tape around first to find your natural waist, then measure. *When

measuring a circumference , put two fingers under the tape measure. This will serve as additional allowance.

2. Lower Hip Measurement.. On the other side of the hip, run the tape measure from the waistline level to the level where the buttocks are fullest. This will be where the lower hip level will fall. (B)

3. Lower HipLine. Run the tape measure along the lower hip level where the buttocks are fullest. If the stomach is prominent or rounded add an allowance

of 1-2 inches until the fullness of the stomach is covered. (C) This is done so that the skirt will fall nicely and not bulge around the stomach area.

4. Skirt length. Run the tape measure

12

from the waistline level down to the skirt length desired. (D) Skirt length may vary depending on the skirt style. Note down the varying skirt length that you may desire, like mini length, channel length, midi length, etc.
