bias garibaldi slip skirt tutorial
Hello friends!
Bias-cut slip skirts are making a big comeback, and I couldn't be happier about it. I adored them back in the '90s, and now they're back in style again! The great thing is that they're super easy to sew when you modify our Garibaldi A-Line Skirt pattern using this tutorial. You'll end up with a sleek, minimalist bias-cut satin slip skirt featuring a smooth-fitting invisible elastic waist.
Check out the image below to see how it turns out:

Here's what you'll need:
**Materials Required:**
- Garibaldi A-Line Skirt sewing pattern
- Drapey fabric (like silk or poly satin—silk is divine to work with and to wear!)
- 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" wide elastic, sized according to your measurements (we'll go over this later)
- Coordinating thread
- Basic sewing tools
- Optional: Ban-Rol for a neat narrow hem
**Steps to Create Your Bias Slip Skirt:**
1. Start by focusing only on the Skirt Front and Skirt Back pieces. You won’t need the waistband or pocket pieces. The beauty of this skirt lies in its simplicity. Trace the Skirt Front and Skirt Back patterns to create full pieces rather than cut-on-fold ones. Doing this makes it easier to cut both pieces on the bias. Add 45-degree grainlines to ensure proper alignment.

2. Next, position your pattern pieces on your pressed, unfolded, and carefully blocked fabric. Ensure the fabric's warp and weft are squared. Arrange your pieces so the grainlines align perfectly with the fabric's selvedges. Ideally, when cutting, you want the front and back grainlines to oppose each other:

This ensures the skirt drapes evenly and avoids twisting at the side seams.
3. Once your pieces are cut, handle them gently! Bias-cut fabric can stretch and distort easily, so minimize handling as much as possible. Keep it as flat as you can and avoid lifting it from the edges.
4. Sew the back darts first, followed by the full side seams with a 1/2" seam allowance. I prefer French seams for the sides, but regular seams work too—just finish the edges as you like. It’s your skirt after all!

5. Before moving forward with the waist elastic, staystitch the waist to prevent distortion during sewing. Use a 3/8" or 1/2" seam with a slightly longer stitch length (around 3.0mm) to make it easier to break the stitches later.
6. Measure and cut the elastic. This requires some thought. You want it snug enough to fit your waist but loose enough to slide over your hips. Start with your waist measurement, testing with a safety pin to find the right length. Add an inch or two for seam allowance and sew the ends together with right sides facing. Unlike regular elastic waistbands, this method gives a cleaner finish since the elastic remains hidden inside.

7. Divide the elastic into four equal parts by folding and marking it. Use pins, chalk, or a fabric pen to mark the center-front and center-back of the skirt.

8. Attach the elastic to the skirt waist, matching the elastic seam to the center-back and the quadrants to the side seams and center-front. Sew using a stretch stitch (zigzag works great). Stretch only the elastic—not the skirt fabric itself—and match the elastic to the staystitching while sewing.

9. Press the elastic away from the skirt and remove the stay stitches since they’ve done their job. Breaking the stay stitches will allow the skirt to stretch over your hips when wearing it.

10. Fold the elastic inside the skirt so the fabric wraps around the top edge of the elastic for a clean finish.

11. I like to secure the elastic to the side seam allowances to keep it in place. You can hand-stitch it or use the "stitch in the ditch" method from the outside.

12. Hang the skirt for at least 24 hours to let the bias stretch and settle. This ensures the length stays consistent when worn.
13. Hem the skirt by trying it on and marking the desired length. Add a bit extra for a narrow hem (1/2" - 5/8"). Use the baste-and-fold method or Ban-Rol for a tidy finish without stretching the fabric.

Enjoy your new skirt! There are countless ways to style it. I've made four in different colors—khaki/gold, navy, black, and cream—and they're among my favorite wardrobe staples this year.
