This circle skirt is so basic that the unexperienced novice (me) could make it up and use no pattern.

The full circle teamed with a yoke waistband makes it very flattering for broad hips, and the faux wrap-around front gives the skirt movement and adds interest while preserving modesty. Since I used a heavy fabric, I have experienced none of the feared Marilyn-Monroe-at-the-subway episodes that is usually an issue for me, the militant skirt-wearer.

I'd post a pattern for it, but I don't understand this site nearly well enough to try.

I used a 150 cm x 150 cm curtain with newsprints about Picasso paintings. It was broad enough to do the skirt in one piece, like I believe circle skirts should be, and there was barely any job making the waistband from the already-finished curtain edge.

Since I have no idea how to do zippers, I avoided the whole issue with a buttoned fold-over waistband and a hidden hook and eye to fasten the fold by the side seam.
