I need to adjust a skirt I bought to make it longer. I bought 2 so I have matching material.
The skirt has a zip at the back and a yoke waistband and is lined from below the waistband.
I thought I'd remove the yoke, add in a piece about 5" or 6" wide all the way round and then replace the yoke.
The only problem is that even with the original skirt hanging much lower down I need the zip opening to get it on and off. I suppose I'll need to replace the zip with a much longer one - unless there is a clever way of having one zip below the other or of closing the opening in the original skirt another way which can be opened but won't come apart when I sit down!
Will a long zip cause any problems?
Any help for any stage of the whole process gratefully received.
Many thanks
Susan
