Tutorial: Girls plaid taffeta wrap skirt

Anneliese from Aesthetic Nest shows how to make a gorgeous plaid taffeta wrap skirt. The waistband is a length of wide grosgrain ribbon that ties in a pretty bow at the side. Wear it with a dressy blouse or cardigan for a festive fall or holiday outfit. She shows it in a maxi length, but this would be pretty in shorter lengths, too. You can make one in any size because she tells how to figure cutting dimensions based on your child’s measurements.
