Tutorial: Little girls flat front skirt with a faux button placket

This flat front skirt by Sweet Red Poppy has all the cute of a button front gathered skirt for little girls, but none of the frustration of actually trying to button the skirt. That’s because the button front is purely decorative, and though the front has a flat waistband the back has elastic so you can just slide it on. She shares a tutorial showing how you can sew one for your own little girl, and she gives cutting dimensions to sew skirts for girls ages 2-8.
