Perhaps a separate chiffon overskirt on a tie-on ribbon band, or an elastic waist band, would be the answer, rather than trying to marry the woven and stretch fabrics? My daughter's ballet costumes often used this treatment and the nice thing was that the leotard could be reused with a different print overskirt that could be changed at a whim. 3/22/09 3:18 PM
