Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between full, half, and quarter circle?

A full circle skirt uses the most fabric and has the most dramatic flare. Half circle is a practical everyday fullness. Quarter circle is more fitted and uses less fabric.

What fabric drapes best for a circle skirt?

Lightweight fabrics like rayon, chiffon, or cotton lawn create the most fluid drape. Medium-weight cotton holds more structure.
