Skirt making help please?

You will have to make a longer bodice down to the hips. The skirt part is gathered from the hip and not the waist. From the sides of your hip front and around to the front again to the other hip side it looks gathered but not a lot. Just enough to feel comfort and not a fully gathered skirt. Then in the front right you will cut a gore as it is shown and on left front you will cut a gore. Sew those pieces onto to the gathered back sides matching the right to the right and left to the left. Now I am just eye balling it and not certain if you're doing a hem or not but you will also have to insert a small center piece for the opening if you like. Or leave it as a peek a boo look. Sometimes I use patterns from a couple patterns to make my own original so you might try that idea too. Hope this turns out nice for you and Good Luck
