Style analysis: sleek and modern skirt with asymmetrical design. It features a high slit on one side, a high waistband/yoke fitting snugly around the hips, the curved hemline is longer on one side than the other. There weaves at the longer part of hemline, meaning that volume is added to that side only.
Fabric: the material appears to be smooth and flowy, draping beautifully around the body. We suggest satin or crepe, in silk, polyester or viscose.
Trace back and front basic skirt separate and make sure they have identical measurements (usually back is slightly smaller than front, so widen back and reduce front to balance them). Adjust darts too if needed.
Lengthen to ground.
