I made this skirt out of linen, it's SO pretty! I'm quite pleased with myself.

natural. The linen has a wonderful weave to it you can't see in the photo. Tomorrow will be close-up day!

..alright Alosha, I'm a dope, does the skirt actually take 12 yards? do you devide the yards in half for the smaller tiers.... thanks....

The hem at the bottom is about 12 yards around. The tier above that is about 6 (half) the tier above that is about 3 (half again) and the top waist tier is about 1.5 (half again).

I used I think five/six yards of material total. Lots of piecing together. Does that help?

GORGEOUS!

A teensy bit of criticism though but it's totally just my opinion - but the first tier seems a little bit too narrow for my liking. When it comes to my tribal skirts I think a wider first tier flatters the shape and doesn't make the skirt look "stuck" when you lift it. Other than that it's gorgeous!
