Place a second towel on top of the skirt and roll the towels up with the skirt between them. This will safely and gently wring out and absorb excess water. Unroll the skirt and hang it on a skirt hanger, to completely dry.

Tips & Warnings
The longer you keep the skirt rolled up in the towel, the drier it will be before you hang it up.
Try not to crumple and wring the skirt as this can damage the delicate lace and possibly cause snags.
