It looks like a taffeta over skirt to match what's happening on the bodice. Trouble is each of the peacock feather motifs (or are they pineapples?) come in varying sizes.
Where durability isn't a problem, I would get some ink jet fabric and run it through the printer after making your skirt pattern, that way you'd know what size per scalloped area.
If washing is desirable, you can pull a spoonflower and design your own and print out a lot. The black band is troubling though, because it looks like some kind of facing doesn't it? With a scallop and a point that is a pain. I have to wonder if they didn't use some other technique, I wish I knew what else they might have done.
Maybe hot knifed and fused low nap velvet? I'm reaching, because they have the crazy cut work on the bodice too.
