Daria Mermaid Skirts Premium Course

When we perform raqs sharqi or cabaret-style belly dance, generally we have 2 skirt options: mermaid skirt (fitted skirt) or circle skirt.

Circle skirts are easy. One size fits many, so they are easy to find, and making a simple circle skirt isn't hard.

But mermaid skirts are different.

They are way more difficult to fit, and they MUST fit well to look nice.

If the flare of the skirt is not positioned well, it makes your hips appear wider or your legs appear shorter.

Not to mention the muffin top problem. They are notorious for causing muffin top, and the bumps show too well.

The skirt length is very tricky to adjust because often both the waistband and hem are decorated.

Forget borrowing someone else's mermaid skirt! Unless she is your double, it's not going to fit you.

I've experienced all of the above in my years of dancing. Can you relate?

But I simply loved the way mermaid skirts look on dancers. They make them look sophisticated, and make juicy dance movements more visible!

And the way mermaid skirts blossom like flowers as the dancers twirl on stage... it's to die for!

So over the years, I tested and experimented with various mermaid skirt designs. I tried numerous techniques to achieve comfort and beauty in my mermaid skirts.

Fast forward today, I have now developed my own mermaid skirt pattern technique that ensures no muffin top but a comfortable fit around the hips. I know where the flare of the skirt should start so the skirt looks great and creates a beautiful hourglass silhouette for every dancer.

And I've finally put all my findings in 2 exciting designs, 1 course!

How to create these Daria Mermaid Skirts to fit your unique measurements - Together we'll create custom patterns for these skirts to make sure the finished skirts will fit you really well! You'll get special calculators to help you with this, so you can skip confusing math!

How to create Style #1: Classic Gathered Daria Mermaid Skirt - This style features a beautifully fitted top section and a delicately gathered bottom section. The fitted part is carefully designed so there’s no muffin top but hugs your hips well enough to accentuate your curves. The flared part has a draped feel and perfect volume, and it waves so gracefully as you dance in this skirt. The flare of the skirt is positioned strategically to create a balanced hourglass figure.
How to sew stretch and non-stretch fabric together - This is a crucial technique for creating Daria Mermaid Skirt. This technique will make the difference between a very uncomfortable skirt and a comfy skirt in which you can dance freely!

3 ways of finishing the waistband (& avoiding muffin top) - The comfort and look of the waistband can make or break a mermaid skirt. Choose from 3 great ways of finishing the waistband to suit your design and needs.
High-waist or low-rise - For each style, you can choose from high-waist (elongates your legs, accentuates waist) and low-rise (elongates your torso) options, so you can make sure your Daria Mermaid Skirt suits your liking.
Straight or diagonal seam - For each style, you can choose from straight and diagonal seams to further personalize your Daria Mermaid Skirt!
How to create Style #2: Sassy Double-Tier Daria Mermaid Skirt. - We'll up our game by tackling this advanced design. You'll adjust the Style #1 pattern to create this style! The bouncy layers are so sweet, and the volume of the tiers makes your hips appear smaller!
How to finish the edges professionally with horsehair braid - You’ll learn to finish the edges professionally with horsehair braid, which really upgrades the look of the overall skirt!

*Please note that instructions on bra making and accessories are NOT included. We'll focus on the skirts in this course.

Both styles are great because the fitted top accentuates beautiful curves of your body, and the volume of the bottom half makes your hips appear smaller. The beginning of the flare is positioned strategically to create a balanced hourglass figure!

The best part is, they look fancy but once you create the pattern, they only take 1-2 days to complete!

So if you're new to costume making, these skirts are great beginner projects where you can learn how to sew different materials :)
If you're a experienced costumer, these skirts are super satisfying, quick-win projects ;)

People who purchased the Daria Mermaid Skirts pre-sale package shared their excitement!

"YAY!!! I have been waiting for this email :) Already signed up."

"I just joined the course! I love the look, especially with a higher waist…. I have always loved the look of chiffon – like the dresses in fairy tales. It gives belly dance that magical look!"

"I most look forward to using the trim on the bottom of each layer and getting the fullness at the bottom of the skirt! I don't have any skirts that do that for me."

"I don't have an overlocker / serger. Can I still make these skirts?"

YES, you can make both styles of the Daria Mermaid Skirts shown in this course using a regular sewing machine that can handle a straight stitch and zigzag stitch. I will also provide tips on how to sew the materials! (Of course, you're welcome to use an overlocker if you have :) )

"How complicated is it for someone that is relatively new?"

Beginners are welcome in this course!

If you're new to sewing stretch or lightweight fabric, I recommend you practice before you start your project. I'll give you tips in the course on how to sew these types of fabric. And simply follow the instructions step by step :)
