It can be done by women of different ages and different complexions. And a beautiful, well-tailored costume can make the dance even more expressive and spectacular. There are many options for suits: harem pants, dresses, skirts. Moreover, each of these elements can be sewn in different ways.

Instructions
Step 1
Half-sun skirts are very popular. They are suitable for almost any body shape. And they can be modeled at your discretion. You can sew a full sun, or you can make the front part in the form of half or a quarter of the sun, and the back in the form of one sun. It all depends on how much material you are willing to spend on a skirt. In order to make a pattern, you need to know the waist circumference and the length of the product. Make the length so that later the skirt does not interfere with your dancing, and you do not get entangled in it. To build a pattern, you must first calculate the radius of the waist (R1) and the radius of the bottom of the skirt (R2). The radius R1 is calculated by the following formula: divide the waist circumference in half and by the number "pi". And R2 is equal to the sum of the length of the skirt and R1.
Step 2
Draw a drawing on paper. Construct a right angle, attach the beginning of the centimeter tape to it and, holding it, draw an arc with a radius equal to R1. Then, in the same way, draw a line equal to the length of R2. The difference between R1 and R2 must be equal to the length of the product. Cut your pattern out of paper and transfer it to the fabric. So that in the future there are fewer seams, try to place one side of the paper pattern on the fold of the fabric. And so that the pattern does not slip, secure it with pins. Circle with chalk or a piece of remnant. At the same time, do not forget to add a few centimeters to the top edge of the skirt so that later you can insert an elastic band, as well as a couple of centimeters for the hem and 1.5 cm for seam allowances.
Step 3
Stitch the side seams, process and iron them. Fold the top edge of the skirt 2 to 3 centimeters and sew. Insert elastic into the belt. Hem the bottom of the skirt. Let it hang for a few days. The skirt is ready.
Step 4
If you want your skirt to have side cuts, you will need to make two patterns: one for the back and one for the front. For the back, you can take three quarters of the sun, and for the front half or even one quarter. You do not need to sew these parts together. Simply work the sides of each piece and thread the elastic over the top edges. If you are confused by large cuts, then you can sew them together on top of 10 centimeters. But this is not necessary, since there will still be a belt on top, and it will cover those places that you would not like to expose.
