Sheer gathered low-high skirt tutorial

Love the fit and flow of these skirts, especially when they are made out of sheer polyester material, so feminine. It is easy not one of the easiest to make because of the time commitment and the added lining, but the elastic waistband helps cut down on time and add to the comfort. I referred back to this tutorial! Its the skirt version.


1. Cut out 2 rectangles, one sheer fabric and one lining. The sheer material should be at least 1.5 - 2.5 yards long and as wide as your waist to the floor. Make only a yard long or at least as long as your hips are wide. You want this less long because it will create more bulk the more fabric you have. 2. Sew the to ends of the skirt part together and lining part together to make a couple skirts or tubes more like it. 3. Cut the skirts into a taper. Do this by laying the bottom flat so front of the skirt is facing forward and the one back seam of the skirt is facing backwards. Make sure the under skirts whether lining is cut a few inches above the sheer top skirt. 6. Gather the top of the lining and the skirt and sew them together with a straight stitch. Gather them to be as wide as your hips, the elastic will make it as wide as you waist. 7. Hem all the skirts. 12. Measure the elastic to fit stretched comfortably around your waist. Mark the elastic and the raw edge into fourths. Match up the markings. Sew on the elastic while stretching it to line up on the markings.
