Flounced Full Wedding Skirt

What This Course Is About

This is a technology-focused sewing course, where you’ll learn:

• how to construct a full skirt with flounces,

• how to correctly calculate and shape the flounces,

• and how to use horsehair braid to achieve clean edges, lift, and professional structure.

You’ll work step by step through the full process — from cutting to finishing — while understanding why each decision is made, not just how.

This knowledge allows you to confidently adapt the technique to different fabrics, skirt lengths, and design styles.
