Now here is the tutorial, hope to see more circle bustle skirts from all of you!


A circle skirt is gathered up to act as bustle and attached to lining and ruffle strips are added the point where circle is attached to the lining !


Would you like to have a look at what are we go to do today! here we go!
Here is my darling daughter flaunting it with Contrast top (i coaxed her to wear this top by explaining Color Blocking!)

I had taken half a dozen snaps to get that perfect snap above! ... Now she has had enough!!!!

Lets get started


Fabric used to make this skirt for my daughter whose waist is 20, seat - 21, length desired = 14 inches(excluding waistband!) 


Fabric Required: 


1 meter of Nylon Tissue (Organza) and about 1/2 metre of Silk Satin lining


First step would be to fold the fabric such that Selvage meets selvage (sorry forgot to take snap of that!) Next step is to fold again for which you see the picture below!

In the pic below, x = 1/6 seat round + 1/8 inch instead of what it is typed below, remember we are going to have an elasticated waist and hence our waist round should accommodate our seat round + ease!

Prepare the Ruffle Strips which will used later!

Now let us attach the circle skirt to satin lining! Before that we need to,

To make our job easier, it is advisable to do the below 2 steps, before we proceed further

Now let us get back to sewing ...

Now that we have attached the hem of circle skirt to inner lining, it is time to look at the waist , 

Hope the steps are clear, excuse the typos! in case you have any doubts, feel free to ask them, i will clarify!
