"Here we have an ankle length skirt. Though there really; I don't see much of a need for this design style not, I mean, how many runway shows do you see with ankle length skirts. I feel that I would be doing you a disservice in teaching you styles if I didn't show you how to do this, because you can use this when you're going to design a column dress, an evening gown, prom dresses. It's good to know the basics. Even if the basics are boring you have to know them. That's just standard rite of passage. You know the basics. The basics are what you build on. So, here we have an ankle length skirt and it'll be at the natural waist line; where I have the belt right here. So draw your natural waistline. An ankle length skirt, just because I have this one as tight and fitted doesn't mean you have to. You can draw like a prairie skirt. We'll do a prairie skit on this, on this drawing or a poodle skirt or a hoop skirt, but make sure it's ankle length. You can go Scarlett O'Hara. There you go, and add whatever design detail then you want."
