Clothing and Grooming

Humans often wear articles of clothing (also known as Apparel, dress, garments or attire) on the body . In its broadest sense, clothing includes coverings for the trunk and limbs as well as coverings for hands (gloves), feet (shoes, sandals, boots), and head (hats, caps). Articles carried rather than worn (like purses and umbrellas) normally count as accessories rather than as clothing.
Humans also decorate their bodies with makeup or cosmetics, perfume, jewelry and other ornament; cut, dye, and arrange their head and body hair (hairstyle), and sometimes their skin (tattoo, scarifications, piercing). All these decorations contribute to the overall effect and message of clothing, but do not constitute clothing per se.

HOW TO MAKE A SKIRT?
Steps and procedures:

Instructions
Things You'll Need:
• Fabric, enough to wrap around you loosely
• Pins
• Thread
• Drawstring, enough to wrap around your waist or hips
• Sewing machine
1. Step 1
Wrap the fabric very loosely around your waist with the wrong side facing out, and place several pins to mark the area where it will be sewn together.
2. Step 2
Remove the fabric from your body, lay it on the floor and finish pinning down the side where the seam will be sewn.
3. Step 3
Sew a 1/2-inch seam along the side of the skirt where you pinned it. Press the seams with an iron, and turn the skirt right-side out.
4. Step 4
Turn the fabric in 1/4 inch at one end of the skirt, and press the seam with iron. Turn the same seam under again 1 inch, and sew at the edge. This will be the casing for the drawstring.
5. Step 5
Find the middle of the waistband, and make a small vertical cut from the inside. The drawstring will go through here. Tie a knot on both ends of the drawstring and feed the drawstring through the skirt.
6. Step 6
Try on the skirt and tighten the drawstring to be sure it fits properly. Remember, it must fit loosely as there is no zipper.
7. Step 7
Decide on a length, and hem accordingly. You can also decorate this skirt further by sewing on appliques, adding a yoke or attaching
