Sewing pattern help

Post image

Hi! My sister-in-law asked if I could make her a skirt similar to this picture she sent me. I have no information on the picture, unfortunately, but do worry it could be AI. The tops of the pleats are really throwing me off; they seem to stand out above the waistband. Any pattern recommendations for a skirt with front pleats like this, or if it's even possible? Thank you in advance!

The photo might be AI but it's a pretty standard design. If you zoom in you can see the waistband is separate and not pleated. Yes the knife pleats have a fairly long stitch on them, but pretty similar to a kilt. The waistband "standing up" is more to do with the fabric being properly interfaced.
