It's also wonderful if you have a small waist but wide hips. I've done this with yummy velvet skirts I've found at thrift stores which would never have fit otherwise. Count the number of seams in your velvet skirt, you will be inserting a lace panel at each seam. Carefully rip out all the vertical seams in your skirt.

Fig. 3 Incidently, the rendering at the top of the page is actually for an outfit I made out of a grape velvet dress I found at a thrift store. Not only was the skirt too slim, but the top of the dress was too small.

They are fun to dance in, comfortable and flattering to just about every figure. Handkerchief hem skirts are also great, and super easy to make. Here I will show you how to do both. Circle Skirt You can make these out of almost any fabric. For instance: Say Lily has 36-inch hips, add 6 use the calculator and the radius is 6.68. Okay. Fig. 1 Now what you have are 2 doughnut halves. You have a few options for making the waistband. Another easy way to make the waistband is to use blanket binding or wide bias tape in a colour that will match your skirt. If you want a waist band the will match the skirt exactly, make a track for the elastic that is as long as 'A' minus 2 inches. Now pin your waistband to the skirt. You want the elastic to be short enough to hug your waist, but be long enough to easily go over your hips when it's stretched out. Fig. 3
