As if a simple full circle skirt isn't already cute and flattering to begin with, this one offers some multi-piecing fun to take it to a whole new swinging level of pretty! With a fixed waist and a side lap zipper the construction is straightforward and polished. The Crazy 8s version builds each of the 8 gores in the same patchwork design, creating a spiral star from the waist. The Sun Rays version is a simple 8 gore design begging for fun fabric combinations. And the Two Step version is a two-piece skirt that shows off the pretty cut of a circle.
