6. Sew details A and details B together
7. Finish the waist with a wide elastic string. Measure elastic to Your waist.
Make sure to spread all ruffles equally on the waistband.
The pattern itself is really simple to sew.
On the same note, please have in mind that this type of evening skirt requires putting a bit more time into sewing (the underskirt has a lot of ruffles).
It requires about 67 inches or 170 centimeters of the main fabric.
For underskirt: 10 yards or 10 meters of tulle. You could use less of it. It depends on the softness of the tulle You would choose to use.
