Girls Cotton Tiered Twirl Skirt

The Girls Cotton Tiered Twirl Skirt is an easy-going everyday skirt designed for children who like to move. Tiered ruffles give the hem plenty of volume and swing, while the elastic waist keeps dressing simple and comfortable enough to pull on without help. The relaxed cut leaves room for running, climbing and spinning, making it a practical choice for school days, playground afternoons and family outings.

Lightweight cotton is the natural match here, since it holds the gathers of each tier softly without adding bulk. Cotton lawn, voile, double gauze, chambray and quilting cotton all work well, and small prints suit the layered hem nicely. Sew it in brighter colours for summer, or pair it with tights and a long-sleeved top when the weather turns cooler.

Sizes run from 2Y to 12Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
