net skirt
How many layers do you all recommend for a floor length skirt made from
black net, probably semi-circular to give some fullness at the hemm, but not too puffy. will 3 be enough, or4 or maybe even 5? thanks Liz |

If you want it to make another skirt stick out, I wouldn't make is semi-circular: it works better as one or two layers made up like a broomstick skirt. And if you don't want the Victorian crinoline effect, use tulle! If you do, use dress net, which is like chicken wire, and line it! On the other hand, if you want a sheer tulle skirt, 5 full circles gives some translucency without being indecent, but you'll need matching undies and tights. If what you want is a cloud like layer on top of something, line 3 or 4 layers. If you think full circles might be a bit tooooo much, try two panels, front and back, of a third of a circle each. With tulle skirts, wider is usually better. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
