The girls’ pattern offers 2 waist options (elastic waist or zipped back for size 10 Years and up) and 3 official lengths (short skirt with no ruffle, short skirt with 1 ruffle, or long skirt with 6 ruffles).

Elodie –
I don't know who's the happiest to sew skirt trios between my daughters and I? In any case, I recommend these patterns, that are very well explained and allow many totally different skirts with the same base.
