Hi,

Thanks for the advice. I’ve managed to get hold of the skirt again and taken some photos. I’ve added 3 here but if you need more let me know.

7 – Skirt Side – Side view showing A-line issue. I’ve already tapered both seams on the side panels starting at 15″ down from the waist from 0.5″ to 1″ at the hem. The A-line was much more pronounced with the smaller seam to the hem.

8 – Skirt Side – If I lift the side panels the front and back of the skirt fall into a more vertical alignment.

9 – Pinned and Lifted – Taking out 2″ from the circumference(1″ each side) and lifting the side seams makes the shape and fit of the skirt much better.

Looking at the last photo I probably need to make a Full Tum Adjustment as that’s where the lines show when I lift the skirt indicating that I need more length over my belly.

Does that sound reasonable or am I missing a very simple straightforward fix?

I hadn’t realised how useful photos were going to be for my own fitting, something to remember in the future !!!

All the best
Brenda.
