I've made a couple of skirts, but this time I decided to do one in satin (the local fabric store had a good price on some polyester satin), and I'm running into a problem with the waistband.
Normally, to keep the skirt up, the waistband has to be fairly tight. I usually either use a stiff elastic stretched fairl far out, or else a belt or nylon webbing. However, this makes the waistband sort of wrinkly, and I didn't think this would look good in satin, so I decided to do an elastic "inner waistband" to keep the skirt up and an"outer waistband," with the satin on the outside, to cover up the working parts. The outer waistband is loose (but not _too_ loose) and has interfacing;both waistbands are attached to the skirt at the bottom.
However, when it's not actually being worn, the elastic in the inner waistband makes the outer waistband and the skirt crumple up.
Any suggestions as to how to make the inner waistband good and tight (but adjustable), but not want to shrink to
2/3 its "in-use" size?
