  The Ba\~{n}ados, Teitelboim and Zanelli\cite{BTZ} solution corresponding to
the exterior space-time of a black hole in $(2+1)$ dimensions has been found to
be very useful to understand various aspects relating to the gravitational
field of a black hole. We present here a class of interior solutions
corresponding to the BTZ exterior by making use of a model presented by Finch
and Skea\cite{Finch} which was earlier found to be relevant for the description
realistic stars in $(3+1)$ dimensions. We show physical viability of the model
in lower dimensions as well.
