Tifa’s Skirt
Moving on to the the A-line cut skirt she wears. To start, decide how long you want the front and back of the skirt to sit. I marked how long I wanted the front to be based on the length of my shorts, for example. The front of the skirt should be shorter than the shorts and the back should be longer.
Once you decide the length of both pieces of fabric, decide the width. The width of each individual piece should be half the width of your waist, leaving room for seam allowance. The width of both pieces should add up to the width of your waist. Add about 3 inches to whatever measurement you decided for the front piece of the skirt so we can add buttons. Lay the front of the skirt over the back of the skirt, right sides facing together. Sew up one side where they overlap.
Mark on the skirt where you want the buttons to be. The buttons will be on the front piece (the shorter piece) and the button holes should be on the back piece of the skirt (the longer one)
Once you sew on the buttons and make the button holes, just put the finishing touches on the piece by finishing up all of the raw edges, getting a red ribbon to tie around your upper arm, and use the remaining pieces of fabric to make ties around the legs. Your Tifa Lockhart from FF7: Advent Children outfit is finished!
