Default broomstick

no pattern needed. Figure how full you want it and how long. lst tier is two WOF, next is 4 WOF and 3rd is 8WOF. Divide length by 3 to figure tiers and add seam allowance and hem for bottom tier. For variety, try subtracting 2 inches from top tier and giving it to bottom tier. More balanced that way. If 2 WOF is too much, try using 1 1/2 WOF, 3 WOF and 6 WOF. Has to be cotton or rayon to pleat successfully. YOu decide your favorite way to make waistband and insert zipper. Each tier is gathered to fit to next tier, of course
