Subject: Soft skirts Author: irishandmore [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, July 15, 11:03:18pm I just finished a dress for a local dancer and I am not happy with the skirt. I could use any pointers you guys have on how to construct these modern soft skirts. Everything I have done up to this point has been traditional panels. The support system to hold out the softer fabrics is a mystery to me. Thanks so much! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
