3. Gathered Skirt: Skirts with gathers at waistline requires extra width in the pattern frame and at the side seams. Amount of increase in the width depends upon the amount of gathers required and the fabric thickness. Bulky fabrics can have limited fullness as there will be difficulty in stitching it to the waistline. If amount of gathers are more, light weight fabrics can be used. If amount of gathers are more, take the length of fabric according to the length of the skirt +2 (for folding) and width of the skirt must be twice the amount of waist circumference for gathering. Finish the side seam and do casing and insert tape or elastic. Finish the hem edge using machine stitch. Take care to keep the sleeve edge in lengthwise direction.

b. Simplified Bukhia: Herringbone is used in the place of sation. The stitches that appear on the back of the cloth is of herringbone style. It gives a shadow effect on the right side. This is easier and simpler than Bukhia.
