/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hi! Circle skirt pattern drafting question.

I’ll be making pic related and I’m having a hard time conceptualizing how to make the skirt? Advice I heard was using a circle skirt pattern and combining two or more circle skirts. (Will be using a hoop skirt and horse hairs braid). I’m just having a hard time understanding that? So for a standard circle skirt, the inner circle is roughly your waist right? So if I combine multiple circles together, won’t it warp it? I know that I’ll end up gathering it, but won’t it warp the outer edge? How would I adjust the measurements for each skirt? I learn to sew as I make my cosplay so I’m sorry if my question is strange.

Should I be using a circle skirt pattern for the skirt part or a cupcake (Lolita-like) pattern instead?
