Styles of Skirt

Skirt is a free hanging part of an outer garment or undergarment extending from the
waist down to a particular length of the garment.
There are few basic categories of styles of skirt:
Straight skirt - referred to as a pencil
skirt, this skirt is a straight line with no
flare or fullness at the hem or waistline.
A-Line/ Flared Skirt is a skirt fuller at the
hem than at the waist and probably the best
style for most women.
Gored Skirt is a style of skirt consists of four,
six, eight or more gores shaped to flare from
waist to hem
Pleated/ Tucked Skirt is a type of skirt which
has pleats that create refined vertical line
while softening the figure.
Gathered Skirt usually gathers at the waist
and visually adds weight and bulk to any
figure.
Best for curvy figure
It works well on women with small waist and
good for those with full-hipped figures.
For a slim woman, a gored style which is
fitted at the waist and hips and flares at
the hem line is best suited.
Skirt with all around pleats are best for
slim, narrow-hipped figures.
This skirt is best avoided by those with a
heavy torso especially in the stomach
area.
