Materials

- Two thirds yard of nylon net that is 42 inches wide.
- One quarter inch elastic that is one half inch longer than waist measurement.
- Decorations for the finishing touch.

Construction

1. I used a stiff nylon net material in a strip 11 inches by 42 inches (the width of the nylon net).
2. Fold the netting in half on the long edge so it is 5.5 inches wide and 2 layers thick.
3. I recommend the fullness to be 7 times the waist measurement of your doll. So, if she has a 12 inch waist you’ll need to make the width 84 inches. That would be one more piece like in number 1. This gives your doll a nice full skirt. There is no need for a side seam because of the fullness of the skirt and additionally, nylon net does not ravel.
4. Next, sew a casing for one quarter inch wide elastic along the folded edge by stitching in one half inch from the folded edge.
5. Measure your doll’s waist and cut a one quarter inch wide piece of elastic one half inch longer for overlap.
6. Thread elastic through casing and stitch elastic closed. Again, you do not need to sew netting together because it is so full.
