this is what i'm working on right now!! it's coming out sooo good i want to keep it (i'm making it for a gift). what i have in mind though is the same exact thing but instead of using tutu material you just use a bunch of different cool fabric. i see girls wearing them at festivals all the time !! this tutu i'm making is awesome though i'm gonna have to post pictures

Nah, it's a lot simpler than that. it's not really anything you could wear outside of a festival basically you just cut strips of all different kinds of fabric and tie them onto an elastic waistband and they hang down to make kind of like fringe? but thick strips of cool fabric! i don't know how to explain it , it's really easy to make I just want to see what other people have made because all i have is a picture in my head :)

Well I stole that from etsy. This seller makes amazing wraps! It seems like she sorta bunched a bunch of strips of fabric at the top, and sewed them together with a sewing machine.

It looks more like she weaved them and then it just hangs from the vertical strips.

That layer skirt would be easier to make in my opinion. if you lay all of your materials out and just sew the elastic on top of it, folded over, it catches all of the fabric and just sew through it all. I don't think that sentence made any sense, but those skirts seem much easier to make than the wraps. equally as pretty too!
