At first it was rather narrow, then it gained width and reached a spectacular size in the 1860s with the crinoline skirt.<br \/>\nThe straight skirt, the most classic, is worn alone or with a jacket to form a suit. It is generally lined and slit at the back so as not to impede movement.<\/p>\n<p>The flared skirt, also called the umbrella or sun skirt, cut on the bias, has a variable width and can even form a full circle. It is a shape that is widespread in many cultures. It slims the silhouette and flares over the legs.<br \/>\nThe pleated skirt is straight or flared and has pleats; it is often associated with schoolgirl uniforms, preferably navy blue. Nowadays, synthetic fabrics allow the pleats to remain permanent.<br \/>\nThe wrap skirt is made of a band of fabric that fastens by crossing in front or at the side.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, it is made in different ways.
