How to Sew a Pleated Skirt From Woven Fabric (PARADISE)

I was looking forward to using this fabric a lot! It is a woven fabric with viscose and elastane in beautiful ocher (mustard) color and it simply enchanted me. It’s flowing, wonderfully soft, and a bit elastic, so it is great for dresses, skirts, and blouses. I've been thinking for a long time about what skirt pattern to use to take advantage of all the properties of this great fabric. At the same time, I was looking for a less complex pattern, so as not to complicate the pattern matching.

The black waistband resembles leatherette (it's just shiny woven fabric) and together with the visible metal zipper creates a rascally impression. It reminds me of Dirty Dancing...
