TUTORIALS for the 1st, 7th skirt, & Princess skirt::
[I kind of suck at explaining tutorials, but I hope this makes a little sense... Undecided

]

For the Battle Royale skirt [the one where I'm holding a gun], I took a straight piece of khaki cloth and pleated it - there are lots of tutorials on how to pleat [it's very simple]. The piece of fabric you choose will be how long your skirt will be from your hips down, so be sure to make sure that's how long you want it. Basically, I made the pleats 3 inches wide with a 1 inch margin to fold in. The number of pleats depended on how wide the widest part of my hips were.
I made a mini-yoke, by measuring my low-waist, dividing it by two, and then adding 1 1/4" to the sum, and then measuring my hips and doing the same. Then, you're going to measure the distance between your lower waist to your hips to find the "height" of the yoke, and then you're going to add 1 1/4" to this measurement too.
With the measurements you collected, you're going to make a trapezoid, with the modified half-hip measurement as your bottom base length, the modified half-waist measurement as your top base length, and the modified height measurement as the height of the trapezoid. It should look like this:

haha
You're going to cut out four trapezoids [two for the yoke, and two for the interfacing]. You're going to sew two of the trapezoids [right sides facing each other!] to each other with a 5/8" seam allowance on the left & right sides. Then you're going to do the same thing with the other two trapezoids, and then you're going to install a zipper on one of the sides of the trapezoid pairs [if you don't know how to install zippers, let me know]. And after you install the zipper, you're going to sew the tops of BOTH of the trapezoid pairs to each other [right sides facing in]. Then you attach the pleats to the bottom of the yoke, and you're done! The lace underskirt was just a regular circle skirt with lace on the bottom - I believe there's a tutorial on craftster for a circle skirt.

For the pink skirt [aka skirt #7], you do the same thing for the yoke, and the pleats, except you make one smaller [lengthwise] set of pleats and then you attach that to the top of the longer set of pleats. Then you sew the whole thing onto the yoke.

PRINCESS SKIRT:
I made my own pattern, but it was essentially the same pattern as this circle skirt tutorial.
And then I just added purple & white lace to the bottom of the skirt!
Easy ^_^

I hope this made sense ^_^
