It depends on the style of the skirt. A snug mini-skirt, for example, uses much less fabric than one of those full circle skirts that comes down past your knees and billows out around your waist when you spin in a circle.
The best way to figure this out is to find a pattern for the specific skirt that you want. Each pattern has a table telling you how much fabric you need.
You can see a table that summarizes data from hundreds of patterns on this blog: http://afterthedress.blogspot.com. Look for the skirt link in the right hand column, near the top of the page.
Good luck!

Can you make a circle skirt with 2.50 yards of fabric?
It completely depends on the following: How long you want the skirt How wide the fabric is What your waist measurements are Whether you want to do a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full circle skirt Most apparel fabrics are 42 inches wide so this limits the length (how long) the skirt will be. As for 2.5 yards, for example: if you have a 44" inch waist and wanted a 16" skirt, you'd need 3 yards of 42" fabric. Hope this helps!
