What types of skirts are there?

Question

Need a written explanation of the different styles of skirts.

Answer 1

Skirts

Basic shapes:

Straight skirt, a tailored skirt hanging straight from the hips and fitted from the waist to the hips by means of darts or a yoke; may have a kick-pleat for ease of walking

Full skirt, a skirt with fullness gathered into the waistband

A-line skirt, a skirt with a slight flare, roughly in the shape of a capital letter A

Pleated skirt, a skirt with fullness reduced to fit the waist by means of regular pleats ('plaits') or folds, which can be stitched flat to hip-level or free-hanging

Circle skirt, a skirt cut in sections to make one or more circles with a hole for the waist, so the skirt is very full but hangs smoothly from the waist without darts, pleats, or gathers

Fads and fashions:

Hobble skirt, a fashion of the early 20th century, with fullness at the hips narrowing to the ankles

Poodle skirt, a circle or near-circle skirt with an appliqued poodle or other decoration (1950s)

Dirndl, a skirt made of a straight length of fabric gathered at the waist

Prairie skirt, a flared skirt with one or more flounces or tiers (1970s and on)

Kilt-skirt, a wrap-around skirt with overlapping aprons in front and pleated around the back. Though traditionally designed as women's wear, it is fashioned to mimic somewhat closely the general appearance of a (man's) kilt, including the usage of a plaid pattern more or less closely resembling those of recognized tartan patterns of Scotland.

Miniskirt, a thigh-length skirt, and micromini, an extremely short version (1960s)

Maxiskirt, a midcalf-length skirt (1970s)

Broomstick skirt, a skirt with many crumpled pleats formed by compressing and twisting the garment while wet (1980s and on)

Sarong, a square of fabric wrapped around the body and tied on one hip to make a skirt; worn as a skirt or as a cover-up over a bathing suit in tropical climates.

Trouser skirt, a straight skirt with the part above the hips tailored like men's trousers, with belt loops, pockets, and fly front

Jean skirt, A trouser skirt made of denim designed like 5-pocket jeans
