The pictorial above includes the directions in simplest form. I recommend adding 3 inches to your hip measurement because it gives you 2 inches of wiggle room, plus a half inch on each side for seam allowance. It’s better to be safe than sorry, especially with lace. Also, if you haven’t sewn an elastic band onto a skirt before it’s fairly easy. Just measure every eighth on the elastic band and make it with a pin. Do the same for the top of your skirt, then pin each eighth mark on the skirt to a corresponding eighth mark on the elastic band. This will show you how tight to pull the band as you sew it to the skirt.
Here are the final results. Thanks Lori for the photos!
