I'm also fairly talented at making my own skirts so I could take the costume with me to the fabric store to match something to it if I decide I can't shorten the existing skirt. I was thinking another chiffon circle skirt, or maybe satin.

The front of the skirt is like mine. when i shortened the skirt temporarly, i took in maybe 3-4 inches that i folded inside the opaque fabric, you could do it by hand with a loose stich just to see if it could work for you .
I dont know by how much you have to shorten it. you cant shorten it by the top since you loose the opaque part that gives this skirt a different shape from the regular chiffon skirts.
The iridescent chiffon of this costume is so nice, Samantha was looking for a veil to go with this so i saw the set in person, and the colour suits you well.
