The Skirt has back waist darts and raised waistline and up to three flounces.  Make it with all three flounces or just one flounce for a salsa-hot mini. Make simple-sew fabric Rose accessory to attached to dress or pin in hair. The skirt with one flounce also makes a great everyday skirt. 

Suggested fabrics: Silk or polyester dupioni, taffeta, faille; other fabrics with body and slight stiffness. For lightweight drapey fabrics, lightly interface flounces. For shorter everyday skirt you can use a rayon challis, wax cotton, Ankara, or even linen. These fabrics are not authentic to the Flamenco dress, but will work.
