The last time I wore a skirt was most likely several years ago. But
I love this skirt. Can anyone figure out how it was done with the faux "wrap".

It looks like the back was drafted with a yoke, and the yoke was merged with the front. The back of the skirt was slashed/spread to form the pleated effect. The "wrap" is just a seam with buttons.

Interesting design... although I'm not sure I would want to attract that much attention to my rear end!

Princess seamed front. Then it looks like the side panels extend into a "yoke" in the back. And the back looks to be one piece that is pleated at the top. Then buttons are put along the seams up the sides, across the yoke, & down the other side.

With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.

Wow! That so reminds me of the 1890's bustle...

Good for a flat bottomed figure if the rest of the figure is not too puffy to tolerate added overall volume.
