I think it's a case of making from scratch with better or rather more suitable fabric. I've practiced the technique now so there shouldn't be much of a problem. Ha! I will also avoid tiny little checks!

I keep it and think about it for a bit and sometimes get an idea about how to fix it. If not just take it to the charity shop! I really like the double pleats at the back of this skirt so I wouldn't give up on it completely. Try a better fabric.<br />Good luck for next timeRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183024549270951128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-16855959283737880362017-04-09T09:10:58.675+01:002017-04-09T09:10:58.675+01:00Thanks, Sarah Liz.

It would be better lined rather than using with a slip as I did (don't like this fabric against my skin). Having read what I've just written, DH says I should move on. I agree. I will. I may make this skirt again though in a more acceptable fabric. I do love contoured faced waistbands though!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-18745677247406436652017-04-09T07:21:41.106+01:002017-04-09T07:21:41.106+01:00Hmm, I am not one to say whether something should ...Hmm, I am not one to say whether something should stay or go, but really, just ask yourself if you are going to wear it. Sometimes I have something in the wardrobe for a while, and eventally, I will just say I will not wear it, and off it goes. I do find faced waistlines tricky to wear and usually go for a waistband so my skirt stays anchored. Not the height of fashion, I know. Over time you will get to know your body quirks, and learn to work with them. Like waistlines fluctuate by more than an inch over the day sometimes, or mine does, at least.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.com
