The button front skirt

Right now I'm wishing I had a high waisted button front skirt in my wardrobe...

It really all began with the Alison skirt from Wiksten's Fall Collection, but I missed out. I had my eye on the vintage one from Liebemarlene that eventually fell into the hands of Ms Thecatspajamas, but decided I would look out for one myself. How much do I regret it now that I've seen it rocked so hard and so well?

If I had access to a sewing machine I might be tempted to make the Wiksten version, as her pattern for it appears in the latest issue of Stitch Magazine (woohoo!), but I think what I need to do is publicly wish for it on this blog and hopefully ABSY WILL TAKE THE HINT AND PUT HER SEWING ROOM TO GOOD USE FOR MY BENEFIT.
