Thread: Re-inforcing a belt/skirt combo

Hey Bhuzzers, I recently bought Satinworship's Eman. It looks pretty good already but I am concerned about the skirt slipping off my butt. I am not very handy, so what's the best fix for a skirt like this? If you look at where the cutouts are, there's not a lot of room for massive amounts of elastic. I'm not a big fan of pinning skirts to my undies or tights...cos then when I get tipped, they're getting a little too close to the goods,r:;

Diagrams & pictures would be helpful. Talk to me slowly. I want to wear this lovely soon!

Eman skirts are VERY heavy, with all the beads and Lycra. I had a buttload of elastic in there before I sold it! This should probably be all you need, since you're a bit bigger in the hips and booty than I am...

Do you have pix of something similiar? Just so I have an idea of what I'm doing? LOL

Somebody has an excellent diagram of this.....off to find it!!!

ETA: Found it! If *I* could figure out how to do it just from looking at this drawing, then you can, too!

Yes I think I can handle this :) Thanks!

Lemme know if you need "tech support." I know how it is to be, umm, challenged when it comes to sewing ,r:;

It's gorgeous on you!
I LOVE the color!
