I have couple of ready-made skirts sewn in a similar way which I like. I had a closer look inside of those skirts and decided to sew one by myself. I cut out two identical slightly A-shaped pieces for the skirt and the same for the lining, just slightly shorter. The waist measurement must a bit wider than the real waist, so the skirt can pulled on over the head. I sewed all the side seams, inserted the lining in the skirt and pinned it, right sides together. I cut elastic to fit the waist and connected the ends. I pinned the elastic to the skirt and sewed it on an over-locker. The elastic needed to be stretched when sewing it, because the elastic is shorter than the fabric. After turning the right way out I sewed some stitches on side seams through all layers on the waistline to keep the elastic in place but it's not really necessary. All that is left to do is hemming. And voila, I've got a new skirt!
