transparent fabrics. In addition, such an airy dress, a chiffon skirt with an elastic band or on a yoke with a zipper are ideal clothes for the summer heat.

This will reduce the number of folds near the elastic for a good fit. Do-it-yourself chiffon skirt is sewn very easily and quickly. The main thing is not to rush, to properly cut the fabric and process the seams.

Also, so that the skirt, made of chiffon with your own hands, looks neat, you need to properly process all the slices. For internal, reverse sections, use overlock or zigzag stitching or double-turn the fabric with overlapping stitches. To finish the bottom of the skirt, a
Moscow seam is used or the edge is overlocked and, turning inside out, a line is laid close to the edge.
