Claudia, have you seen this post? https://oliverands.com/community/blog/2016/09/lengthened-city-stroll-wrap-skirt.html
I think it says Liesl lenghtened her skirt 15 or 16 inches…
Hope this helps. -

Is there a maximum you would not exceed when lengthening the skirt? For size 4? Thank you so much! Claudia

I am seeking some general guidance on what stitch to use when joining seams, stretch or straight? Would a quilting needle or ball point for my machine work best? I would…[Read more]

with love Heidi replied to the topic Has anyone done zipper instead of buttons in back of yoke? in the forum oliver + s: hide-and-seek 9 years ago
I suspect t it will be much more difficult to add a zip to an already finished bodice than to modify the pattern and add one from scratch.
I’ve also made buttonholes for years on a machine without a bottonhole foot, just the regular foot and the 4 step buttonhole program. I’ve also made buttonholes with a dense zigzag stitch, regular foot and no…[Read more]

I haven’t done a zipper in the back yoke but I did add one to the front instead of the button back.

Apologies for the silence, @dids! I’m traveling, with limited access to my computer. If I recall correctly, you attach the elastic to both front edges of only the fabric A jacket. So right side and left side. Does that make sense? I hope it helps.

Wow finally finished the Hide and Seek. It looks great and so professional. I didn’t have an automatic buttonhole on my machine, so wondering if it will be quicker to add a zipper to the back yoke? Anyone done this?
