Fabric requirements: See photos
Extra fabric may be needed to match stripes, plaids, or directional prints.
We recommend choosing a fabric that is at least 54” wide. If using a smaller width, piecing may be required for the skirt and ruffle pieces.
* Sizes 2XL-6XL require piecing of the skirt ruffle. Simply take the measurement of both ruffle pieces, add them together, then divide by 3. This will be your new ruffle measurement. Cut three on the fold.
** Not cutting on the fold will reduce yardage.
