Okay, i can tell you how to do the first and the second easily, and when i'm more awake, maybe the third. heart
(On a side note, those are Mary Magdalene, right? They make my soul ache for loli)
The first one, what i do... I use my ruffler foot, though you could hand gather them. Simply take a piece of fabric thats wide enough for your ruffle, and long enough for the amount of gathering. I normally do something like 4-5 times the width of the bottom of the skirt. Hem both sides of it. Gather it REALLY EVENLY. You have to make sure that the fabric at the top is the same amount the whole way across. Once that's stitched in so that what you have is a free-standing ruffle, pin it in and sew it ontop, right side to wrong side.
For the second, what i would do (at least right now, i'm much in the same boat of being self taught) is essentially the same thing. Attatch the longer one first, trim the top excess, and then attatch the shorter one. If i could take a look at the actual dress i might be able to figure out how they did that one, but i don't know anyone with a skirt like that.
For the third, it looks like there's a little bit of trim around the bottom, where the bows are. Perhaps they did something where they sewed in the bottom ruffle to the underside, and then put trim on to hide the stitching?
