waist band on rtw skirt

Can you get any more out of the centre back seam of the waistband ? or perhaps unlike men's trousers this item doesn't have the extra built in.

ches to tight. The skirt has a fly front closure and waist band with inside button and D-ring self belt. I was thinking I'd remove the belt and add a wide elastic that closes in front to give my the little extra breathing roo m I need. Any suggestions or comments.

Sadly there is no extra fabric. It's a 1 piece band. I was also thinking th at if I cut "V" wedges of elastic and inserted them in the side back of the existing band it might help. What do you think?

I have a really nice cotton RTW skirt. The waist is about less that an inches to tight. The skirt has a fly front closure and waist band with inside button and D-ring self belt. I was thinking I'd remove the belt and add a wide elastic that closes in front to give my the little extra breathing room I need. Any suggestions or comments.

Barbara, You did reply, It came to my email address. I wasn't sure who it w as from. I didn't know your last name. Thanks for posting again. . What mak es it difficult is that there are no seams in the waist band. The other thi ng is that the skirt is black and adding a color makes it harder to ear any top I have, unless I considered beige.

I've decided that I will basically use the method Barbara describes using b lack elastic rather than fabric. That waay I have some expansion space in c ase I overeat at Thanksgiving. Since I generally wear this skirt with a swe ater Through the fall and winter I don't have to worry about it showing.

I like the idea of elastic in the back of skirts or pants and I have opened the back seam and inserted a piece of cloth with enclosed elastic in pants. I insert the top and let it drape over the top of the pants to look dressy, same with skirts., or wear it with a sweater. Good luck with this! Barbara in SC
