Gathered Skirt
skirt

Gathered skirts, mostly simple used with hoopskirts for Dicken's Fair, Gaskell's, and other Victorian costumes.
Gathered skirts have the fabric gathered and then stitched into the waistband. This is a faster method than cartridge or other sorts of pleats and is good for thin fabrics like taffetas and light cottons.
