Skirt Fitting Advice
Skirt fitting guide gives you useful advice for the perfect fit of your skirts.
Waistband:
- A good fit at the waist is very important.
- Try the skirt on to see if it feels comfortable when both standing and sitting.
- You should be able to put a finger between the waistband and your waist and also consider that there is enough space to wear a shirt or a blouse inside your skirt.
Lining:
- The lining should feel comfortable on your skin and not be too tight.
- If you sit down and get up again the skirt should slide back smoothly in the right position.
- Also see that the lining attachments make no ugly crinkles on the shell fabric.
Side Seams:
- Side seams should lay flat and fall straight from the waist to the hem except from special styles with unusual side seams.
- Look for a smooth run of the side seam with no crinkles.
- The shape of the side seam should fit perfect to the shape of your hips.
Darts:
- If the skirt has front or back darts, they should lay flat and make no pleats when you wear the skirt.
Hem:
- When you look at the hem from the side, the run of the hemline should be even and smooth all around (except from styles with an asymmetrical hemline).
- Especially make sure that the hem doesn`t roll outside on the front or back and on the side seams.
