    Description

    This skirt is created in a Tahitian Dance style.
    Unique and each piece is handmade from the weaving
    of
    the cords and stringing pony beads for pattern to give skirt a beginning and direction. Skirts are made in a med length to full. Skirts are prunes slightly but easy to trim when layed out and weighted to avoid moving and to stay in place while taking Scissors to cut straight and even. I always make the first cut slightly longer than planned just in case. Once the basic skirt is made than I will hand shred bunches of the celephane roping to make skirt lighter, more flowing and can be used for execution dancing of Hula or also make a Tahitian skirt with waist belt decorations.
    This piece i
    s a blue cellophane Tahitian skirt.
    The blending will take more facts and shredded more heavily. The waste on this is approximately
    28- 38”
    and can be moved
    in slightly
    by moving each of the bundles of rope to a waste of approximately 38
    , to less.
    The l
    engths
    on the skirt is 2
    4
    inches.
    This is produced not to be see through. To modify the waste can only be done slightly. You can over lap the waste bands to make smaller, but when you add the hooks you might want.

    Please see pictures for details.
    Make sure after you sew hooks in to try the skirt on and it’s important to double them up to keep skirt up and not go slipping down.
    Included are 4 latch hooks. You will need to secure with heavy duty string and important to tie the hook to the center brown rope to assure that the bunch roping does not slide out to make skirt waist increase.
    Note: I normally spend 20-40 hours just to produce med shred. By taking time to split roping. The finer the finish the price will reflects. Keep out of direct light, heat and avoid around fire, highly flammable. Also avoid unsupervised child handling since could cause choking. If when first received and cording is creased, just take water misting bottle with warm way and lightly spray,shake and hang in warm room or area till dried. Avoid wetting any wood beads, shells or feathers. Condition is New.
