If you like skirts, it's very simple to make panel skirts with a drawstring waist. I have bunches of them for Faires, although I'm not a fan of skirts in everyday wear. My large friend favors them because they're easy to fit, though. Me, I have a small waist and wide hips, which is a nuisance to fit off the rack. Drawstring solves the problem.

Generally I'll make 2-panel skirts for myself (using the width of the fabric bolt, typically 45" or 60") hemmed to ankle length. For a fuller skirt, 1-and-2 or 2-and-3 panels may be used. You can even put fancy curtain cord for the drawstring, with tassels. I usually just put bells or beads on string for mine.
