I am so frustrated! I knew when I bought my yummy snakeskin print cossie that it was a smite generously sized for me. I sewed the gap on the outsides of the center jewels and that easily brought it in close to 2" without compromising the design. MUCH better fit.....but I lost a bit of weight and started to get uncomfortable (enough to shift while dancing, KWIM?)

I had some old workout shorts with a foldover waist that I put underneath to fill up some room and pinned the skirt to them. Not bad, but I've lost a bit more.

Now I have this GAP:

the sides of the skirt are very densely beaded over the hip area, so it really can't be taken in there

There MUST BE some obvious fix that I'm missing, any suggestions???
