I made a close-fitting ankle length skirt with an elastic waist and out-of-print (OOP) Butterick 5790. It couldn't be a simpler project with just one pattern piece, I was able to whip this one up in an afternoon.
Based on the latest version, there were a few changes. I shortened it just below the waist at the markings for the petite sizing. The bottom hem was shortened another three inches. And even with these two adjustments, it's still an ankle length skirt. It was cut as a straight size 16 without any extra ease. The fabric is a cotton knit that I found at Northwest / Marshall Fabrics many moons ago.
