This gives detailed instructions on how to make a sturdy, non-fraying necktie skirt, which is flattering to every figure.
All you need to know is how to use a sewing machine to straight-stitch and zig-zag... I'll explain everything else in detail!
I've got a few up for sale on Etsy... or you can just look at them as examples.

Signing UpStep 1Deciding on Size
Determine your hip size by having someone wrap a measuring tape comfortably snugly around the fullest part of your hips. Round that number up to the next inch. Similarly, determine your waist size, except measure around the smallest part of the waist.
Now, how long do you want your skirt? If you want it SHORTER than 30" long, take your hip size and divide by three. Round up to an integer. That is about how many ties you'll need for the body of the skirt. If you want it LONGER than 30", take your hip size and divide by two. Round up to an integer. That is about how many ties you'll need for the body of the skirt.
