So I was working on making this floor length but had a miscalculation and ran out of fabric for the final tier. Gotta make a trip to the fabric store in the morning to see if I can match it. Or maybe I can make the last tier white? But that makes me nervous if it’s floor length. What do you guys think?

Here is the pattern I used for the skirt. I cut the pattern at the shortening line and then did a 1:2 gather for the tier which I cut at 14” (I’m 40” from waist to floor). I want to do one more tier but have to find the fabric!

It looks great as it is!

Personally, I would try to find the same fabric for another tier.... Or if not, perhaps a patterned fabric that has that same colour in the pattern (if that makes sense... ) 🤔 Not sure about white ... A plain white tier might be too much of a contrast? (But that could also just be my aesthetic preference haha 🤷‍♀️, because the skirt looks really good with the top you're wearing )
