25-yard skirt pattern for beginners?
Hi all,
I'm in a dance troupe and in need of a 25-yard, tiered skirt- I'm also strapped for cash and buying one of these skirts online (or anywhere else it seems) would put me AT LEAST $100 in the hole!
I'm looking for EASY instructions on how to actually sew one of these behemoths! (note- I know that gathering can be done via machine and by hand and I do not have the right "foot" for gathering on my sewing machine so I would need to find out how to gather without a "foot")
All I know is that a soft cotton like gauze fabric seems to be recommended the most.
Thanks everyone! (any other sewing tidbits would be most appreciated!)
PS- I find the patterns online that are only written instructions EXTREMELY intimidating and frustrating as I am a visual kind of person. :)

Thanks!
Can you please find a photo or sketch of the sort of skirt you're looking for? It would help a lot.
Is it something like this: http://www.kukyideas.com/journal/2006/07/tiered-skirt-tutorial.html ?

There are many Lolita bibles who have a list of do's and don'ts for Lolita costumes, so by now you must be acquainted with the fabrics that you can use while making your costume. You could search online sites for a lovely dress which you think you can make at home and then after zeroing down on the color and the material; you can get to work. But hold on, you need to be really good in sewing! This is the primary and the basic requirement.
Select a pattern according to your body shape and figure and make a skirt accordingly, you could get a readymade printed fabric from outside so that you'd just have to sew and get things into place. When making the skirt remember to make arrangements for petticoats inside it; so put the waist size accordingly. Don't forget the laces; they look really good on any of the loli dresses.
