Your fitting solution is as good as any, for a garment that's already made. The great thing about a yoked skirt is that it's easy to make a "muslin" of just the yoke. If I find I have to go down a size or cut between sizes, I trace the flared portion of the skirt accordingly. When fitting only the yoke, I have to keep in mind the affect of the lower skirt's weight, when it is added.

I will definitely try making a muslin next time. If it works out, I could probably use it as a lining, eh? Sheer laziness always keeps me from actually doing it, buuuuut really I always wish I had after the project is over. Thanks for the tips! :)
