I've only just spotted this.
Yes. Back the tear with something lightweight and darn. Easiest option. It's a busy enough print to lose the repair.
Or, as suggested, depending on where the damage is exactly, applique.
Or, if you want to completely lose the damage.... depending on the style of the skirt part, and the angle of the damage... I've seamed damage out before. Say from waist, down through the hem, and just run a seam straight through, completely losing the tear. You'd have to readjust any gathers at the waist.
Not always possible. It always depends on the style of the garment.
