3 1/4 | Please Note: Because of the necessity to cut this skirt from a single layer of fabric, there will be some larger pieces of fabric left over. You may want to buy a bit more fabric, so that the excess can be used for making another garment, such as a vest, or jacket or straight skirt.
Suggested Interfacing: silk organza, sheer lightweight sew-in interfacing with body such as Sewin Sheer; or fusible lightweight with body such as So Sheer.
