   This is an amazing skirt. I have made this in two sizes and it is EASY, but looks great. Both of my daughters wanted spring & summer skirts so I made a variety in challis & cotton voile. For the first, I put it together the way I was taught: assembling the top tier to the second tier to the third tier; then adding the waistband, inserting the elastic and finally, heming. I did do French seams on the voiles. Then I decided that I could assemble things faster if I changed things up a bit. So for all the other skirts, I sewed the waistband to the top layer and inserted the elastic. Then I sewed the side seam on Tier 3 & put in the hem. Then I sewed the Tier 2 side seams & attached Tier 2 to Tier 3. Finally, I sewed Tier 1 to Tier 2 & the skirts were finished.
   It might have been that I was just so familiar with the pattern, but assembling it in the second fashion was much faster than the first method for me. I had 5 skirts to sew so shaving off time was gteat. The finished products look very Boho & amazing.

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
