[Tango-L] chacarera skirts

[Tiffo D]

A general comment: How is chacarera related to tango?  
I dislike how it is played at tango events.  It seems just because it is Argentinian, it MUST be embraced, but to me it is out of place.
I would rather salsa than do the "steps" of chacarera.

Although the women had long skirts, I would like to either find or make fuller skirts to really make the dance shine for future demos.  I really like the way the woman in this video uses the skirt of her dress and it would be cool to have something similar.

> I saw something on Etsy custom-made for $85, but that's way more than what I want to spend on one skirt.  Any suggestions on skirt patterns, costuming secrets, or sources to get a full skirted look?
