Skirt

The cut of a tailored skirt block has curved waist and hiplines to allow for waist suppression, this enables the correct hang and balance of the skirt over the curvature of the body. This basic shape is based upon a rectangular tube, however, this can be extended to a circular, more folk based shape. The main variations are the addition of gores or panels usually of four, six or eight divisions, the creation of hip yokes or tiers, and the introduction of fullness through gathers and pleats at either the waist or hemline. Bias cutting enables skirt shapes to drape and stretch around the form and provide ease of movement, see Bias Cutting on page 105.
