Cillisto Skirt

View A, a mid-calf bias-cut skirt features three tiers at the bottom, each with raw edges. The front is cut higher, sweeping elegantly to the longer back. This version can be constructed in either a single layer or with sheer overlays. View B is an eight-gore flared skirt, with an opaque underskirt and a draped overlay. The overlay has loops sewn into the seams, through which cords or bias tubes have been threaded. The cords are pulled up to create a swag effect. See pattern details below.
