Re: making cabaret chiffon skirt

I made a circle skirt last week and now I need to wait untill the fabric has stretched out. I prefer circle skirts with an added layer, like a handkerchief skirt, petals made from fabric remnants or other bits and pieces.

If you create a skirt out of 2 yards of fabric, it will create unflatering bulges at the waistband and when you do turns the skirt will look like an inflated bag instead of spinning out like a circle skirt. I've made several skirts from two yards of fabric for normal wear, and it worked fine.
