Skirt made in circular shape, often by use of gores, and hanging in unbroken ripples from waist to hem; also made from a fabric circle.
DCF, 1999
Context:
A fully circular skirt is, as described, where the hem forms a full circle: as the length of the skirt increases, so will the size of the circle and its circumference, so increasing the amount of fullness. To reduce the fullness and the amount of “kick” in the skirt, a half-circle skirt can be cut, and to reduce these features even further, a quarter-circle skirt can be cut.
