Midi Mock Wrap Skirt with Button Fly

When To Wear

For the office and daytime, with a tucked-in blouse, shirt or fine knit.
In spring and autumn with a jacket or cardigan; in suiting fabric it pairs with a matching jacket.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Slightly flared, fitted at the waist with darts on the front and back.

Length: Midi, below the knee.

Waist: No waistband: the top edge sits at the natural waist and is finished with a front and back facing.

Closure: Six buttons and buttonholes along the upper part of the overlap, with a fly and an underlap; below the buttons the overlap forms a pleat, topstitched with a double row along the lower edge of the fly.

Front: One front panel; a strap stitched into the left front dart carries the buckle, and a long belt from the right side seam wraps around the back and fastens through it.

Pockets: None; the two rectangular flaps on the right front are stitched on as decoration.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with two waist darts.

Finishing: Hem serged, turned up and sewn by hand with blind stitches.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A fly-and-underlap closure with a pleat, a facing that encloses the corners of the closure, a belt inserted into the side seam and a strap caught in a dart.

Fabric Recommendations

Skirt fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (fly, underlap, facings, flaps, belt, strap)
6 buttons
Decorative buckle

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 3 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Note! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.
