This sunburst pleated trumpet skirt can be made with several custom options:
- The pleated portion can be made with a minimum of 2 sunburst panels (half circles) up to 10 panels depending on the type of fabric you choose, the understructure of the garment and the amount of volume you want to create.
- In addition the length of the pleated panels can be even around the hem or they can be slightly longer at the center back seam like in the image above.
- Another point to note regarding this style is the back of the skirt in the photo implies a soft fabric by the way it lays on the floor. If you choose a stiffer fabric like organza or taffeta your dress will not drape like the photo.
Maximum Length:
Since the pleating for this style starts at the knee extreme lengths are not necessary. In most instances our standard sunburst length should be sufficient which is a total radius of 44 inches/ 120 cm from the center of the circle.
