Six-skirt skirt and its features
A distinctive feature of such skirts is a cut, consisting of six identical wedges that perfectly retain the A-shaped style. Skirts of such a cut have some drawbacks: it is very difficult to find a short six-link skirt, its minimum length is up to the knees, mini skirts are quite rare.
Six-link - a skirt that has a narrowed shape from the waist to the hips, then it expands with the help of wedges, creating the shape of a trapeze. The presence of several vertical seams visually makes the girl slimmer and stretches her figure.
A similar skirt, like pants with arrows, has long become a classic and has long been entrenched in the category of universal styles. It is perfect for everyday wear and formal occasions, but for social events and celebrations it is rarely used, although for such a case you can consider a bright and unusual option.
Styles and models. Who will use the six-link (skirt)?

The six-long skirt, the photo of which is presented below, looks very original. The extended hem creates a loop effect, so that the image is delicate and sophisticated. However, do not supplement it with accessories, they will be superfluous here.
Do-it-yourself six-skirt skirt : recommendations and manufacturing tips
To build one wedge, it is necessary to take the following measurements:
- desired length;
- half hips;
- waist circumference.
Half-girth must be taken into account, because the fabric must be folded in half when cutting. Due to this, further, the value must be divided by half of the wedges, and therefore by 3. If it is more convenient for you to take measures of girth, then the value will need to be divided by 6.
Building patterns
The first step is to draw a bottom line. From it lay a line corresponding to the length of the product, and draw a waistline. Next, you need to measure and lay down the length of the hips (measure the length from the waist to the hips).
When constructing a pattern, you need to consider that the lines of the waist, hips and bottom should be placed parallel to each other. You also need to outline the center line of the wedge.
In order for the six-link skirt, the pattern of which is presented in this article, to be smooth and beautiful, each width must be measured in two sides of the wedge. For example, if the half-circumference of the hips is 48 cm, and 48/3 = 16 cm, this value will become the width of the wedges along the hip line, lay 8 cm on both sides of it. In the same way, you need to postpone the waist line and draw the lines connecting the waist and hips.
The bottom line consists of the width of the hips, to which add flare allowances. Suppose 7.5 cm per flare is added to 8 cm, and it turns out 15.5 cm. On the bottom line from the center, it is necessary to put 15.5 cm on both sides. Next, draw the seam lines from the hips to the bottom. The bottom must be aligned according to the principle of "compass".
After that, you need to adjust the waist line, which should go at an angle of 90 ° to the side seam. You need to draw a new waistline - it will be smooth.
Tips and tricks for building a wedge
When sewing 8-blades or 4-blades, the waist and hips should be divided by the desired number of wedges.
Before you cut a skirt, you need to check all the values obtained on the pattern. The width of the waist and hips must be multiplied by the number of wedges, you should get the correct girth of the waist and hips.
Do not forget about seam allowances and hem. You need to cut only along the share line, and all flare lines must be correct, otherwise everything will be visible, and you will get a poor-quality product.
