Product Information

The sarong skirt is a traditional Asian garment that is wrapped around the body. Sarongs are typically made from lightweight fabrics. The sarong skirt is wrapped around the body in a slim tube, according to Fashion History . By technical fashion definitions, a kilt is most certainly a type of skirt…though some people will passionately argue that it is not. Since a kilt is a piece of fabric wrapped around the waist that covers the lower body, it does fit the definition of being a skirt. It’s not a classic women’s skirt, however. The kilt has become a much more popular style for men. The simple dirndl skirt is traditional folk wear in the Alps region that was widely seen in the 1800s. It’s seen in “The Sound of Music.” Traditionally, the dirndl also has a short apron and shoulder straps but in modern styles, the skirt is typically made without these features.

According to Pointe magazine, ballerina Marie Taglioni was the first to wear a tutu skirt in a performance. Dancing the title role in “La Sylphide,” she danced onto the stage in 1832 wearing the first tutu, a dress with a bell-shaped skirt. The look became the model for every other ballerina. Mary Quant is famously the woman who created the miniskirt, which became THE look of the 1960s. According to Quant herself, the miniskirt must fall to about the mid-though and be no longer than this. It was a symbol of women’s liberation and freedom in fashion. It was scandalously short. It was destined to change fashion for ever. And…it was a design that was thousands of years old. They can also be used to add structure to a skirt. Petticoats were once worn in layers, with many women wearing several at once. They were seen again in the 1950s to add volume to the flared skirts that were popular at the time. Wrap The A-line skirt is a great skirt for the pear-shaped figure (that's me!). This skirt is usually knee-length and forms a triangular shape when laid flat. It is an easy-to-sew option and makes up nicely in most fabric types. Modern kilts evolved from the tartan, a woolen wrap that was commonly worn for warmth in the chilly Scottish weather. It became fashionable to take the large warps and belt them around the waist, creating folds. This was known as belted plaid. The earliest use of kilts was at the end of the 1500s. This look inspired the modern Scottish kilt , which is still worn today for ceremonial and cultural events.

Pleated Skirt Patterns

Needless to say, this fashion trend didn’t last very long. Coming out of the 1910s and the restrictive fashions that had come before, women turned toward much shorter skirts in the 1920s and fashion changed significantly. One variation of the pleated skirt is the accordion skirt , which is heavily-pleated with many small pleats. The accordion skirt is usually a long skirt that has tightly pressed pleats into the skirt and they are layered on top of each other for an accordion-style effect. The bottom portion of the skirt is usually circular, which helps to aid in the mobility of the skirt. The accordion skirt can come in various colors and lengths.

Cargo In modern style, midi skirt length varies. But traditionally, this skirt falls to the mid-calf, about four inches below the knee. It flares outward from the waist, creating a full skirt. The midi skirt’s real claim to fame is not its look. It’s when the midi skirt appeared in fashion: right after the fashion juggernaut that was the miniskirt.
