Frequently Asked Questions
A circle skirt is a full, flared skirt cut from a circular piece of fabric. It hangs evenly from the waist with no gathers or pleats.
Measure around your natural waistline where the skirt will sit. Use a flexible tape measure and keep it snug but not tight.
A full circle skirt uses a full circle of fabric, giving maximum flare. A half circle uses a half circle, less flare. A quarter circle uses a quarter circle, minimal flare.
