Answering question for Cindy…
Cindy, I can’t reply to your review but I looked at the instructions. You are cutting two pieces for the third/bottom tier and then sew them together, making that bottom one longer than the others.

How can the 3rd layer be shorter than the second?
Please check the measurements - how can second layer be 30" long and the third layer be only 25" long? Is the second layer super gathered and 3rd layer not?
