Grown-up Wrap Ballet Skirt

About a yard of polyester chiffon and some 5/8" ribbon will get you a lovely little wrap skirt!  It's about 14" in the back, tapered to 12" in the front, and made for a grown-up woman.

It was easy enough to draft, but I am considering digitizing the pattern and making it available on Etsy and Craftsy.
