Hi Beth, first thank you for all your effort. Sidenote about the skirt, I have a swayback. If I just make rectangles it hangs longer in the front than the back. I suppose with this kind of skirt, better to raise the back a little ? Sometimes you also see that they lenghten the back but with the tier it would be difficult I think. What do you think ?
Hi Gerda, I think what you'd want to do is add length to the first tier on the back of the skirt. The swayback generally means that there is more of a curve between the waist and low hip compared to the front of the body. The added length would help the first tier seamline run parallel to the ground as well as the seamline below and the hem. The adjusted back tier would essentially be a rectangle with a curved half moon addition at the bottom (this would add length but not change the side seams. I can address this in a later post when we talk about drafting the tiers and include drawings. Thanks for the question!
