I really like the tutorial, and yes, that fabric is really cute!

But I have one question. Well, I'm working on a renaisance based costume and the only thing I have to make now is the skirt. But I'm quite short and I'm not sure what is best: a box pleated skirt with small pleats or a gathered skirt? Please answer!

[Evange]

@LittleBulleteye I think renaissance skirts usually have cartridge pleats. But it depends on the look you're going for. Box pleats are certainly neater, but gathering can be made much fuller.

I have a question, how would you attach this to a top to make a dress?

[Evange]

@sailorwaterprincess Instead of a waistband, you attach it the bottom of your bodice.

I'm working on my first lolita dress that I want to use as my businesses uniform, but I need to learn how to make "Inverted Pleats" can you gimmie some type of hint on how to do that?

[Evange]

@blackinktrio Same thing as this but backwards.

[camilamerino]

Do you have any how to make lolita sirts?? *-*, I suscribed, i just love this, im going to make all of my future stuff based on this, thank you! :3

[Evange]

@camilamerino I'll get to shirts eventually. But first I want to go over all the basic types of skirts. Drafting a pattern for a shirt can be quite tricky, so I'd like to get the easy stuff out of the way first.

[Anayokari]

Hi! I was just wondering how you hemmed the skirt? Overlock and invisible stitch? Or folded up with a visible seam? Thank you!

[xStrangeIove]

Thank you! This was helpful.

[Beautysiasm]

love it !

[wakko888]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make the petticoat?

[MrPandramon]

exactly how many inches do I add up on my waist measurement for ,y waist band?

[7cakemomma5]

That is a great skirt girl!!!! It's so basic but so versatile and easy to wear! I love it!

[lulu97ization]

You should do a vid on this skirt with POCKETTTSSS!!

I loooooooooveeeee skirts with pockets n this skirt would be PERFECT PLZZZ do this thx and love the skirt!! :)

[joyfulfishies]

I would like to make the Alice: Madness Returns steampunk dress to cosplay, but I'm having a hard time managing the stripes. Would I be able to accomplish these stripes by sewing the box pleat all the way down the length of the skirt?

[CatherineRose15]

this helped me complete my first project so much

and the invisible zip is a lifesaver!
