Flared Mini Skirt Designs

As I said before, there are many variations of a mini-skirt. Here we have a flared mini-skirt, which the flared comes across in the flow of the fabric in the volume of it. It's still mini because it's short. But as you'll see on here there's a lot of it. It looks kind of bunched up. The easiest way to depict one of those is to first decide where you want your waistline. This one is going to be more towards the normal natural waistline. And then decide how long you want it to be. And you're going to have to draw these things over and over and over again before you get them exactly right. It's going to take twenty tries on one skirt to get it where you want in the proportions. So I'm just sketching it out and it's going to fall where it falls with this, but just know that you'll need to draw each one a zillion times. I want it to be about this long, and since I want it to be flared, I have to know that there's going to be a lot of fabric in it. So my hem line is going to be kind of, not necessarily uneven, but I want it to draw it where it looks like there's pleats and folds, but it's just the natural fall of the fabric. And I have this one going out, flouncing out a little bit. Decide how far you want it go out, or if you want it straight down. But flared kind of means out. And then, all these little lines in here, they are signifying the folds in the fabric. There you go.
