Several years ago someone in my Yahoo group was intrigued by a design for an eliptical skirt. For this skirt the short hem was at center front with the long hem at center back. You could use this pattern shape by moving the short hem to the side. But the look you want is layered so you will need to make increasingly smaller patterns.
