's message, "Re:skirt" on 18:55:50 03/12/10 Fri The fullness comes from the number of circles used per layer. Then you gather each layer at the waist.

You can...but as I mentioned before you want to make sure to gather each layers seperatly into the waistband or your curls may tend to lay into each other. (Not as full). I generally cut circles with holes in the middle like you mentioned...But my "holes" are large so I have plenty of material to gather for layers. (then I am not sewing smaller circles (smaller waist "holes")together...no seam lines to deal with). For a southern style with a bit of the cupcake feel (if that makes sense) I do two to three gathered top circles with a solid fabric circle and one liner circle with two rows of very gathered fishline hemed ruffles. Again..I sew the ruffles also individually. I don't saw a large ruffle on down the middle to butterfly...because the ruffles eventually settle into eachother. It takes longer and you have to be more careful to not let the previous ruffle you sewed on get caught in the next ruffle seam..but the look is well worth the time. For more of a cupcake style I use three to four very gathered (large waist) top layers with the same lining/under ruffles. And of course graduate the top layers apx 1" for each layer.
