A classic every day type skirt is a wonderful thing to have in the classic. It makes short work of getting dressed in the morning when you do not feel like making a lot of choices. Here is a nice skirt:
This is the Button-Front Maxi Skirt from J Jill. Price tag: $89.00. Details: 100% cotton, sits below waist, pull-on waist, a-line silhouette, machine wash gentle tumble dry low, 33" back length.
When you look at this skirt up close in the front, you would never know this was a pull-on waist. That front band looks real. I would think the belt would be neccessary to hide the elastic in the back if you doing a tuck.
I am sure you know that I was not able to find an exact pattern for this skirt. That would just be too easy. There is this pattern:
This is the Sawyer Skirt pdf pattern from Seamwork patterns. It does offer the button-front and the a-line silhouette but not the elastic pull-on waist. It might be easy to increase the back panels to allow the pull-on silhouette. You could also take an elastic waist a-line skirt pattern and add a placket. Here is a tutorial for making a fake placket or a real placket.
Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
