This skirts is a simple rectangle-cut piece of fabric that is hemmed and cinched at the waste with a riffle on the top. It's really as simple as that. There are a lot of tutorials out there with measurement instructions, like the one found here.
I didn't make any special measurements, just compared it to one of June's existing skirts to estimate the allowance for the seems, hems and waistband. Instead of the elastic right at the top of the waist, I put in a seem to lower the elastic and create the ruffle.
IMPROVEMENTS for next time: The hem is too thick and heavy for how little her skirts is, therefor it feels a little stiff. Also allow a little extra space for the elastic between seems. Make the skirts a little smaller, but she will grow into it!

You're too talented with this stuff. I was wondering yesterday if you made the cute stripped dress she was wearing.
