HI
    THE BEST I CAN COME UP FOR A DEFINITION OF THE TIER SKIRT IS THE NAVAHO
SKIRT SUCH AS THE ONE FOLKWEAR PATTERNS HAS. IT IS A SKIRT WITH THE TOP
"RUFFLE"(8-10")THAT HAS SUCCEEDING 3 OR 4 "RUFFLES" THAT ARE GATHERED ON TO
IT,TO FORM A SKIRT THAT REACHS ABOUT MID CALF IN LENGTH. IT IS A VERY
POPULAR ITEM OF DRESS AT THE SOUTH WESTERN RENDEZVOUS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN
ANY DOCUMENTATION FOR ONE AND HAVE BEEN ASK TO GIVE A TALK ON THE WOMEN OF
SANTA FE THIS SUMMER AND WANT TO MAKE SURE OF MY FACTS BEFORE STICKING MY
HEAD OUT.
   I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I HAVE IN MIND.
