kiddo said... Great skirt!!! The problem you have can be solved by cutting a piece of rayon/lycra the same length plus seam allowance a smidge smaller also works as it will stretch into the waist. The width should be 4" plus seam allowances. This will form a casing for 2" elastic. Sew the ends together leaving a 2" slit. Sew into the waist. Insert a 2" wide elastic into the casing. Sew ends together, whip stitch the slit and the skirt is taller.

mad4sewing said... Hi Everyone. I made a revision to this review with a new skirt that I altered to add height to the top of the skirt and panty. 8/4/09 3:08 PM
Hilary said... I agree, the revision is *much* better! Although I do like the fabric in the first one too~ any way to alter the first one by inserting a yoke or band between the waistband and skirt? 8/5/09 2:20 PM
mad4sewing said... To Hilary: I probably could add a section to the top and just move the currant elastic casing up, but my DD is fine with the way it is so we have not done anything to ajust it. 8/6/09 4:14 PM
