Difference between 치마, 자락, 스커드?
I'm trying to figure out how to say "skirt" in Korean. All three of these words (치마, 자락, and 스커드) came up when I searched for the word. Is there any difference in the meanings, or is one used more often than the others? 감사합니다!

"치마" is the best appropriate. "자락" means lower part of a skirt, it is not used commonly except a few idioms.
"스커트" is direct reading of the English word skirt, that has more modern nuances than "치마".

English word "skirt" means
1. the part of a gown, dress, slip, or coat that extends downward from the waist.
2. a one-piece garment extending downward from the waist and not joined between the legs, worn especially by women and girls.
자락 or 옷자락 means #1 of the meaning.
치마 and 스커트 both mean #2 of the meaning.
스커트 is same to 치마 but usually used for Western style skirt.
