Skirt from online Skirts

I am trying to re-create a skirt with ruffles like the grey one above with the blue shirt, I have already run a cloth simulation, but I cannot get the shape to look right on my version of the skirt.

Everything looks very flat because I am only using two subdivided planes.

    The cloth is folded on the top and then stitched together. – Thomas Weller Jan 09 '22 at 16:47
  • I've never tried the cloth simulation myself, but from what I've seen in tutorials, I don't believe achieving that skirt with a sim is impossible. Of course I could be wrong, tho. – Hrishav Saha Jan 09 '22 at 16:49

You could try it this way:

Create a cone:

Create a vertex group, that will be the cloth pin group:

Give it 2 shapekeys, select the second one and scale one vertical edge out of several (make it a bit heterogeneous):

Give your object a Cloth simulation, choose the group as pin group, choose Cotton presets for example, increase the Quality Steps, the Vertex Mass, increase the Collisions Quality to 4, enable Self Collisions. Then keyframe the second shapekey from 0 to 1:

You can add fake folds with a Bump node and a Noise Texture that you stretch on Z.
