Antimony & Lace ~ DIY dark and gothic fashion Circle & Handkerchief Hem Skirts Circle skirts are a great staple for any goth wardrobe, whether you are a fem Goth or a skirt wearing Goth guy. They are fun to dance in, comfortable and flattering to just about every figure. 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. Stitch the ends of the elastic together securely making sure it isn't twisted. Handkercheif Hem Skirt Fig. 3
the Circle Skirt I used to think that a gathered skirt was the easiest skirt to sew. But I may have changed my tune. A circle skirt is possibly even easier! If you’ve ever made a poodle skirt before, it’s the same concept. Once you’ve created your pattern, you can whip up 4 skirts in an hour! Okay, let’s get started. What you need (for a little girl’s skirt): * about 1 yard of fabric* appx 3/4 yard of 2-inch wide elastic FABRICS to use:* Rayon* Polyester Charmuese* Simple Cotton* Thin Corduroy* Lightweight WoolMany fabrics will work for this project. ELASTIC:Wide elastic from fabric stores typically comes 2 inches or 3 inches wide; white or black in color. If you’d like to add a colorful twist to your skirt, check out our easy Tutorial for Dyeing Elastic HERE. Measure around your waist. PATTERN:This requires a bit of geometry but don’t worry, we’ll break it down for you. You need to figure out the radius so you can easily draw a circle. Then connect the dots to draw 1/4 of a circle! Now you have a donut!
Antimony & Lace ~ DIY dark and gothic fashion Panel Skirt This is a great trick to use when you want to make a slim skirt full. 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. The more seams a skirt has, the better this works. Carefully rip out all the vertical seams in your skirt. Fig. 1 Add an inch to each side of the triangle, that's how big each triangle of lace should be. Fig. 2 Once these are cut, sew them in-between the skirt panels {Fig. 3}. 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.
