So, what defines a wrap skirt? It's a style of skirt that wraps around the body and ties or fastens at the waist, which means the wearer doesn't step into it like a traditional skirt. A wrap skirt can have a simple straight hem or an asymmetrical hem that takes advantage of the wrap design. It's often worn as a casual skirt and can be either long or short, dressed up with ruffles or other embellishments, or left plain.

When sewn from a light weight drapey fabric, a wrap skirt can be a great skirt for summer. It can also make a great beach cover-up (easy on, easy off). And since a wrap skirt ties at the waist, it can be easily adjusted for a comfortable fit and can easily adapt to weight changes.

And because of its simple design, a wrap skirt would be a great project for a beginner to sew. There's no waistband to set in and since the skirt forms itself to the body, there will be little to no fitting to do.

Great fabrics for your wrap skirt can be any fabric that drapes well, such as rayon or silk-like fabrics, which tend to nicely show off the wrap skirt design. But stiffer fabrics like woven cottons, linen, and even denim can also be used with nice results. And of course, if you want to be able to launder your finished skirt, just remember to pre-wash and preshrink your fabrics prior to sewing your skirt.
