Any recommendations for a "skort" pattern?

DGD loves skorts, she can be pretty-short-skirt-feminine and a
tom-boy-practical both in the same outfit! ;-)

She spotted a nice red-blue-taupe plaid in my stash and asked if
I could make her one. I've looked online at the big three plus
Kwik Sew and I'm not finding a pattern for this project. I
suppose I could just wing it, make a skirt and attach soft knit
shorts, but I'm hoping one of you has a recommendation for a
pattern which has worked for you. DGD is almost 11, quite slim,
and very into "stylin' ", so she has *very* definite ideas about
how it should look. What she wants is to replicate this Lands

NAYY. She really want the bias yoke, and I'll make a 3-1 pleated
skirt below that. Question is, how/where are the "shorts"
attached? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Beverly
