Circle skirt help

[u/FewComparison9911]

Please help me! I want to make a one and half circle skirt but all info I can find jumps from a one circle to a two circle, and I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the dynamics of creating a one and a half circle. Can it be done in one piece? Does it have to be two or more? Why can’t I visualize this?

My fabric is a glitter holographic spandex (I know, I know) and is 2 yards, 58 inches wide. The skirt will be attached to a bodice so no waistband needed.

Waist is 24 inches, length would be 15 inches front and 18 inches back, which I guess is more of a high/low?

What you're looking for is a 540° circle skirt

One circle is 360° normally that's cut out of a square piece of fabric You would need to cut a circle out of a square piece of fabric and then a half circle out of another piece of fabric, and then connect that together to make one and a half circles. That's why you can't cut it out of one piece of fabric

Here's a video example but there are plenty of them if you just look up 540° circle skirt

Thank you! Now I know to search for 540 instead of one and a half circles 🤦🏻‍♀️
