Mini-skirts are very very basic. There's many levels of mini though. It can be mini mini mini, or it can be mid-thigh mini, anything below mid-thigh though, you really can't call a mini-skirt. Here is one of my final designs for a collection I did a while back and there's the jacket and the belt, but this is a mini-skirt. This is one variation of the way a mini-skirt will look when it's finished. And just because it's called a mini-skirt, it doesn't mean it has to be tight. Mini denotes the length. There's mini, midi, and maxi, even though they don't really get called mini, midi, maxi anymore. That's more like a nineteen fifties and sixties version of what they are, but those are the varying levels and I will show you how to draw a mini-skirt. Very very very simple. Decide where you want your waistline to go. I prefer a lower waist. Decide how long you want it to be. And I'm going to do this one with a straight across hem. And do your curve around the hips. There you go. There's your mini-skirt.
