How to draft the pattern of The trumpet skirt 2 : With peplum seam

That skirt is easy to draft. It is a bit more difficult than the previous one HERE

We start the same way as for the other trumpet skirt (see link above).

Skirt block with 2 darts evently distributed.

Lengthen

 

Join at side seam

Draw a line. It can be horizontal or slanted like on the drawing

Separate

On the bottom part, drawn vertical lines. 5 in my drawing, it could be more. They have to be equal width.

cut on those lines

Spread by pivoting along the top line. That line will curve but will remains the same length.

Redraw the outlines.

Another variante : with a curve instead of a line.

How to draft the pattern of The trumpet skirt 1 (with panels)

 

The trumpet skirt, here done through panels is so easy to make

We start with a basic block for skirt.

Note that we have 2 darts on each parts and that they are evenly distributed.

We place the first dart closer to the center front and the other dart half way between the first dart nd the side seam.

As it is a close fitted skirt, no need to give enlargements on the side.

Lengthen as you want

draw vertical line below the darts.

Those will be the panels.

6 panels

Separate the panels

Note that the legs of the dart are in the seams.

flare out equally at the level you want : knee, calf....

Lower 

or higher

Different variations

The flares don't have to be on the same horizontal line
