Do-it-yourself American skirt can be sewn in just a few hours. Of course, a lot depends on the design and features of the model, but in general, any "American" can be sewn, knowing the basic principles.
For tailoring a coquette, it is better to choose satin or satin (you can also jeans), which fit the figure well and shine a little. For the main tiers, nylon, tulle (but remember that it pricks a little), chiffon, and you will also need a knitted mesh are suitable. To decorate the joints of different tiers, you will need satin ribbons to match the main fabric.
An American skirt "begins" with a coquette. Cut off a rectangular piece of satin, equal in length to two waist circumferences, and sew it on the side. Then fold it in half, set aside the "drawstring" at the top for future gum.
Then you need to take a strip of chiffon (about 6-9 waist circumferences) and also sew it on the side. At the top of this strip, you need to make a line with a maximum stitch, so that the fabric shrinks to the length of the yoke. Then the top of the chiffon strip must be sewn to the bottom of the yoke and decorate the seam with a satin ribbon with bows or flowers.
With the next chiffon ribbon, you need to do the same operation. Its length should be at least 18 waist circumferences and a maximum of 24. Sew a ruffle at the bottom (its approximate length is 35 waist circumferences).
In order to achieve the classic pomp that is characteristic of this model,you will need to sew according to the same instructions, in the same way, another skirt. Yes, an American - a skirt is not the easiest to perform. It will take time to create it, but technically it is not as difficult to make it as many other models. The second skirt is sewn to the bottom of the yoke, from the inside. It turns out that the upper part of the dress is single-layer, and the lower part has two tiers, which turns it into such an airy and weightless one as you would like. American skirt is ready!
