  Table for Calculating a " Full-Circle Skirt" with Fixed Parameters
    Key Skirt Parameters     
   
If you plan to make gathers or pleats at the waist, calculate its total length and fill in the resulting value.
Waist Circumference (cm)
   
   
For a skirt
that is floor-length at the front.
Front Skirt Length (cm)

Use Back Skirt Length if there is no train.
Back Seam Length (Train Included) (cm)
   
    Finished Waistband Width (cm)

    Width of Skirt Fabric (cm)    
   
For a skirt that is floor-length at the front.

This value is equal to WC if there is no gathering.
Waist Edge Length (Gathering Ratio Accounted for) (cm)
   
    Side Skirt Length (cm)    
    Waist Opening Radius (R1) (cm)    
   
If required fabric width including gathers or pleats along the waist exceeds the actual fabric width, then you cannot cut it this way. Reduce the Waist Gathering Ratio, use wider fabric, or divide the skirt in gores.

    Make Back Skirt Length equal to Front Skirt Length in the Key Skirt Parameters if you don't want to account for train ruffles.          
             
             
    Useful when you need to determine fabric consumption for several bottom ruffles (for example, for a petticoat).          
             
             
   
If you don't plan to use the ruffle under the waistband.
