By jacket, do you mean the vest she is wearing? That is actually from Urban Outfitters.

You can give the skirt a lower waistline by making a muslin or a paper skirt and drawing on a new waistline with tailors chalk or pencil (respectively). Then take off the paper skirt or muslin and neaten it up. Then add seam allowances.
You can make a waistline facing by tracing the tops of the pattern pieces about 5 inches down.
Then you can just make the skirt as your would normally. Oh, and remember to use a shorter zip or to shorten the one you have.
Good luck! : )

I dont like how it sits so high on the waist. A low-waist option would be nice.
