I have a large piece of slinky in my stash and want to make a skirt.I
can't decide if I want an "A" line or 4 to 6 panel skirt. It's a fairly
heavy fabric beside being very stretchy. I'm thinking the simpler the
better. Any thoughts.

If the fabric has a pattern, then I would go with a plain
A-line in order to avoid cutting up the pattern, especially
across the front. If no pattern, and you want more flare at
the bottom than you can manage using an A-line pattern, then
a 4-6 gore pattern would work very well.

Thanks Beverly, I kind of thought that but it always is nice to have
someone else give input. The fabric has a rather busy but obvious
pattern, so I I think I should go "A" line.

pattern....
