Circle skirt

A circle skirt is cut from a full (or half) circle of fabric, fitting smoothly at the waist before flaring into a wide, sweeping hem. The clever cut creates dramatic fullness and twirl at the bottom while staying flat at the waist, with no gathers or pleats — a hallmark of 1950s-inspired and feminine styling.

Because the volume comes from the radial cut rather than added folds, the waist stays clean and the hem moves beautifully. Length can be mini, midi, or maxi, but the dramatic swish is constant.

It's the fullest, most flared skirt shape — far rounder than a straight pencil skirt — and gives fit-and-flare dresses their signature spin.
