Fig 2 Skirt Panels

• Develop patterns for each tier (A, B, C, and D), using the tier length and fabric width as a guide.
Tier A: Cut 1 width. Adjust back skirt by measuring down 3/8 inch at center back, blending to side seam.
Tier B: Cut 2 widths.
Tier C: Cut 4 widths.

Tier D: Cut 8 widths.
• If more fullness is desired, add one-half width or more to each panel.

SKIRT VARIATION-5: GODETS
Godets are generally triangular-shaped wedges of fabric placed between seams or into slits or used as a
replacement for cutout sections (of varying shapes). Godets provide additional stride room or may be added as a
design feature. They are created singularly or in a series around the skirt. They may extend evenly to the hemline
or be graduated in length. Godets may be placed on a bodice, jacket, blouse, sleeve, and dress.
Godets may be curved, squared, or pointed as a half circle, a three-quarter circle, or a full circle.
Pattern Plot and Manipulation
• Plot pattern for cut-out design.
• Cut from paper.
