Easy Tulle Under Skirt

• This skirt is easy to make,
• But It's a quick fix, make and wear that evening, type project, 
• the basic how to is stolen from toilet paper wedding dresses I've constructed over the years. 
• Oh, wedding showers ;)

Things You Will Need:

• Measurement from your waist to the floor
• A large amount tulle (I was given a bolt of it from a good friend)
• The exact amount will depend on your height, and how full you want the skirt to be
• A general rule of thumb would be to take the measurement from step 1 and times it by 20
• Ribbon or string
• Elastic (a little more than enough to go comfortably around your waist)
• A threaded needle (for a small amount of sewing)
• A place to tie your ribbon or rope between two points, just above the height of the measurement from step 1.
• Sharp scissors

Things you will do:

•  Measure from your waist to the floor
• Tie ribbon\string between two points higher than your waist measurement with a bow

• Wind tulle around string, so it hangs just above the floor

• Keep going till your out of tulle or have achieved fullness wanted
• It should all be one piece at this point
• Find the loose corners of your tulle
• a. There should be four
• b. Fold them up a little, and sew them to the skirt (so that the it does not unwind, and they do not drag on the floor.

• Measure elastic around your own waste. Decide on the exact fit you are looking for (make sure it stretches over your hips). Plus a couple of inches for tying.
• Slide elastic under tulle, next to the ribbon.

• Tie a knot.

• Undo ribbon bow

• Fluff skirt
• If you are feeling ambitious you can sew the tulle to the elastic band,
• And if you do that slice open the folded layers of tulle at the bottom
