Comparison of the 3 "circle" skirts and advice for the hem
The customizable patterns offer three "circle" skirts, each available in five lengths: the quarter-circle skirt , the half-circle skirt and the circle skirt . Many of you have asked me the difference between these three patterns. Today I will present them to you in detail.
To go back a little, these three skirts have existed since the very beginning of the customizable patterns. A few months ago, I did an update to enrich these patterns .
For the three patterns, five lengths are offered:
• short above the knee
• midday to mid-calf
• long at the ankle
• floor ceremony with heels
• ceremony with a 50 cm train in the back
As the name suggests, these skirts are based on a circle and offer more or less volume. So the circle skirt is based on a full circle. The half circle skirt has half the volume. For the 1/4 circle skirt, we reduce it by half again.
You will then get more or less pleats at the hem and the skirt will be more or less fitted at the hips.
If you want a skirt that highlights the waist and flatters the hips, you should opt for a circle skirt. On the contrary, the 1/4 circle skirt is more fitted and hugs the shape.
Here is the rendering in images in short length, then in ceremony length:

One of the big differences between these three sewing patterns is also the fabric consumption. This is a very important criterion if you want to control the total cost of your project.

THE HEM
With these patterns, you will have to straighten the hem before sewing it. Indeed, they are generally sewn in fluid fabrics that will stretch on the bias. Once your dress is sewn, the bottom of the dress will not be straight. How to fix this?
• Hemming should definitely be the last step of your project.
• Before straightening and sewing, let your dress rest for 24 hours on a hanger or dress form. The fabric will have time to stretch under its weight.
• How to position your dress to even out the hem?
- on a tailor's mannequin , this is ideal
- by pinning the waistline straight to the edge of an ironing board. It should be straight too!
The important thing in all three cases is that the waistline of the dress is well placed horizontally.
• How to draw the new hem line?
- with a skirt rounder
- with a laser level
Happy customizing and happy sewing!

@SARAH : Oui c’est possible ! Vous pouvez couper votre jupe dans une plus grande taille que la vôtre et ainsi ajouter des fronces. Bonne couture !
CHARLOTTE
@THIERY-MIEG : Si la fermeture est sur le côté, le dos est alors coupé au pli. Le placement des pièces sur le tissu est moins optimal et la consommation de tissu augmente en conséquence. Bonne couture !

ANNE MAYNADIER : Bonjour Anne, la mise à jour est offerte et téléchargeable directement dans votre espace client. Si ça ne fonctionne pas, je vous invite à m'écrire un email à helloateliercharlotteauzou.com. Bonne couture !

Bonjour,
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi la position de la fermeture éclair (dos ou côté) à un impact sur la quantité de tissus nécessaire.
Merci

Bonjour! Peut on combiner jupe demi cercle et des fronces ?
Sarah
Bonjour,
J’ai acheté il y a bien longtemps le patron de la jupe patineuse (ancien nom de la jupe 1/2 cercle) .
Dans mon livret d’instructions, il n’y a que les instructions pour la jupe courte ou midi.
Aujourd’hui je souhaiterais faire une longueur cérémonie. Dois- je a nouveau acheter le patron, y a t il plus d’indications ? ou dois-je me débrouiller pour étendre le patron ? C’est surtout le plan de coupe qui m’effraie.
Merci pour votre aide et pour tous vos patrons et pas à pas !

Bonjour,
Je voulais savoir comment choisir la taille d’un pantalon ou d’une jupe car je ne vois pas de tableau de tailles contrairement aux hauts.
Merci pour votre aide.

@FLORENCE : oui je conseille un ourlet mouchoir ou bien un ourlet roulotté à la surjeteuse pour plus de légèreté au niveau de l’ourlet. Bonne couture !
CHARLOTTE
Bonjour,
Merci pour ces conseils ! Quel type d’ourlet conseillez-vous pour les jupes en cercle pour une robe de mariée ? Ourlet mouchoir ? Finition bourdon ?
Belle journée :)
