Skirt Flares Unevenly or Drapes with Diagonal Twisting Wrinkles
"Garment looks warped on the dress form even though cuts followed chalk marks"
Root Cause in Construction
The fabric was cut off the true bias or rotated against the selvage thread direction.
Immediate Atelier Solution
- 1Rotate your pattern piece so the grainline indicator aligns with the diagonal weave (45 degrees for circle/flare skirts).
- 2For structured pencil skirts and bodice front panels, align strictly parallel to the straight selvage.
- 3Hang circular garments on the mannequin rack for 1 cycle before hemming to allow bias drop to equalize.
