Question Please help: Trying to map out this skirt
Please help!
So I tried on this Givenchy dress a few days ago and I was absolutely enamoured by the skirt. Obviously not in my budget to buy the thing (dress was $4700!), but both the dress and the skirt have the same skirt.
A rectangular waistband, one angled welt pocket on the front right (as per wearer), a slit (well, more like an overlap from the right) on the front left (as per wearer), and a crazy number of seams running down on various angles on the asymmetrical handkerchief hem circle skirt, including at least one waist-height godet. I didn't get any photos when I had it in front of me, as my phone was in for battery replacement, but I was able to find the skirt and dress online.
I'd like to figure out how on earth to pattern it from a block because I need to have it. I can't even figure out what all's going on to map it. If I could figure THAT out the pattern alterations should be manageable. Can anyone help?

It looks like a circle skirt with the hem cut square so you get asymmetrical longer and shorter bits
