 Hi, I'm at the skirst first fitting and everything looks good but it's pulling on the tummy area at the hip line. I'd like the skirt to fall nice and straight from the waist down to cover my "pooch" belly. But I also want it to be fitted at my hips. What should I do?

Re: Skirt Fitting

Dear bisou,

 
To fix the issue with the skirt, you can let out a bit from the front panel along the side seams. Do this up to the lower hip line.
 
Now the front will be a bit larger, if the waistline becomes large for the waistband, you can fix this along the waist by increasing the intake of the front darts only at the top. Make sure to create 4 darts on the front panel so that the dart points will lay flat on the body.
 
Happy sewing,
