This skirt is already hemmed. And it's actually too long right now - I have to roll the waistband twice in order not to step on it - so adding the wired hem would improve the length. BUT... the skirt is so full (front panel is one full half circle, back is two half circles), so it's waaaay beyond my ability to do this & have it come out right. I may try to find a seamstress who'd be willing to do it for me.
