A-Line

The first piece of skirt which is referred to as the A-line depicts the letter 'A'. The waist is smaller than the widest bottom. Some A-line skirts are short and some are long to the ankles.

By measuring and considering the length, the A-Line skirt can be worn anywhere. Both daily events, work, and other formal events.

Yoke

Straight

Tiered

Skirts below the knee with stacked accents were popular. The impression is attached to gypsy clothes. For santi events, tiered skirts can be combined with loose and comfortable tops.

Wrap
