Front View	Back View	Half Circle Skirt Back to Product Page Back to Garment Thumbnails Page Click on each photo to open a larger view. The Half Circle Skirt is a full skirt that sweeps from a fitted waist to a flowing hemline. Special care was taken while designing to make the fullness drape gracefully, avoiding any unflattering folds. Shown here, in several fabrics, are a close up front view, back view and side view. As you can see, the fabric chosen can give a style a completely different look and feeling, changing it from casual to formal. Front View Iridescent Linen Flower Print in Denim Back View Silk Charmeuse in Plum Side View Glitter Flower Stretch Velvet in RedBlk Notice the smooth fit of the elastic waistband (Glitter Flower Velvet). There are no gathers. The fit and drape of the stretch fabric is the same as that of the woven fabrics.
Side View	Zipper Detail - Side Seam Zipper Detail - Center Back	The Zipper Details shown here demonstrate how the invisible zipper is hidden in either the side seam or center back seam. If not for the pull-tab, you wouldn't know there was a zipper. The placement of the zipper will vary, depending on the fabric chosen. Some fabrics are wide enough to allow the skirt to be cut with only one seam, placed at center back. Others are narrower, requiring the skirt to be cut in two pieces. These will have a side seam zipper. Fabrics that would show shading in the color if cut as one piece will also have a side seam zipper. The waistband lies smoothly, with enough ease for comfort. Our buttons are fabric covered (Side Seam View) or carefully chosen to compliment the fabric (Center Back View). All are hand-sewn and knotted. The stitching will not unravel.
Removable Lining (Stretch Fabrics Only)	Inside Zipper Removable Lining Detail	The Inside Zipper photo shows how neatly finished our skirts are inside. There are no exposed seam allowances. The waistband is as finished and smooth as on the outside. The lining neatly frames the inside of the zipper. It is carefully stitched to insure it will not be caught when closing the zipper. Skirts made in stretch fabrics come with a detachable lining. The lining adds body to support and shape the drape of the fabric. Most stretch knit fabrics fall closer to the body and drape in softer folds without the lining. They can be worn without the lining if you prefer. The look is most like that of the woven fabrics with it. A comparison view of the lined and unlined versions is available so that you may see the difference. The detachable lining has a grosgrain ribbon waistband with a snap closure. The ribbon lies flat and smooth under the waistband of the skirt without adding bulk. When on, it snaps to the waistband of the skirt to prevent shifting.
The Half Circle Skirt In Motion		The Half Circle Skirt has a flowing, sweeping hemline, which swings gracefully when you move. If opened, it forms one half of a circle. Before marking and cutting the hem, the skirt is hung on a dress form for 24 hours. This allows the bias sections to stretch before hemming, eliminating the dipping, uneven hemlines often found in off the rack versions.
