CRoll out some dough until it is fairly thin. Cut a rectangle measuring 50 x 150mm (2 x 6in). Gather the long edge of the rectangle in to about 56mm (2'4in). Flatten the gathered edge slightly with your finger, and trim off any excess dough to make a straight edge.

SLay the skirt on the body, so that the frills on the ankles just peep out of the bottom hem. Join the underside of the gathered edge to the waist, tucking the edges around the back of the body.
