 Drafting Patterns for Flared Skirt:

MELC: LO 1. Draft and Cut Pattern for Children’s Wear

Code: TLE_HEDM9-12CW-IIIf-5
Objectives:
1. Identify the measurements needed in drafting flared skirt;
2. Draft patterns based on the body measurement taken; and
3. Appreciate the importance of following the correct procedure in drafting.

Definition of Terms:

Flared skirt is very similar to an A-line skirt, except that it is mostly short and
flares out a lot more than your A-line. As it moves down, it circles out and covers
your bottom. When you are styling a flared skirt, wear a fitted top so that you do
not create a very wide silhouette.

Skirt is a part of the garments worn around the waist. Skirts have been in fashion
for centuries, though their styles and patterns have got evolved with the time.
Moreover, the best part about skirts is you can wear them on any occasion, whether
you have to dress formally or simply in casuals. Straight and pleated skirts impart
a sophisticated look to women. Here are some samples of skirts:

Bubble Skirt is gathered at the waist

and provided with lining to hold the
hem and gather inward the hem
ends to have a full effect.

A-line Skirt is the basic skirt that

has been customized to a great
extent. With slight flare having rough
shape of capital letter ‘A’, it fits at the
waist while slightly touching hips
and thighs; it is broader at the hem.

Skirts. Actually, Flared Skirts are
A-line skirts, but they have extra
flare, which beautifully covers the

Procedure in Drafting Patterns for Flared Skirt

1. Draw a construction line by tracing the outer

edge of the L square Mark corner point A.

2. Of the waist circumference less 1 inch

3. A – C is ¼ of the waistline less 1 inch.

4. In cases that measurement of line B –C is
not equal to ¼ of the waist measurement,
adjust towards point A if measurement is
more than what is needed. Adjust far from A
if measurement is less than what is needed.

5. Sway point B to point C using a broken line

with point A as reference.

6. Check ¼ of the waist measurement on

the dotted lines from point B to C.

5
 7. B – D is the skirt’s length.

8. Sway point D to the opposite

side of the construction line with
point A as reference.

9. Connect dotted lines using the free hand.
