school skirt problems!


Question Posted Monday August 20 2007, 5:36 pm

hey i have a school skirt thats way too long and my mom won't hem it anymore, so i have to roll it to make it shorter. but the problem is it's also too big, and i cant get a new one (i have really good reasons for that so dont suggest getting a new one=p)

so anyway, when i roll it theres a dent in my shirt so you can see that i roll it so how do i make it less noticeable or make it look shorter? and also how do i get my skirt to stay up? it keeps sliding down cause its so big!

any tips or advice? please answer soon i have school tomorrow!! all answers appreciated

like the others said, i think your best bet would be to make one big fold at the top and cover it up with a shirt. also, i'm not sure how this would work with your particular skirt, but could you maybe pin it under at the bottom to the length that you want? maybe you could learn how to hem it yourself, or take it to someone to be hemmed. if any of your friends sew, you could even get them to teach you or fix it for you. i actually had a skirt come apart one time and my friend sewed it back up for me. go to wikihow.com and they will probably have tons of info on how to make your skirt work. here is an article on hemming by hand: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

i have these problems all the time.
all the schools i have been to. have uniforms.
instead of rolling it a bunch of times.
unzip it a bit and do one big roll.
like a big fold.
it its to big to do so.
theres not much you can do.
try wearing an undershirt.
or get a baggy shirt to go over it.
and if its big on the wasit.
pin it.
i know you are currently in school.
but use this in the future.
also.
you could try hemming it urself.
hard.yes. but just look u how to hem a skirt

Hey.

First, you need to buy a belt. You can get some really cute ones at Rue21 & Target. Places like that. That should prevent the skirt from falling.

For the skirt being too long, I'd just take some scissors and cut it the length I want it and wear it. I mean you can spend around $30 or more on a skirt that has been cut off.

Thats what I'd do anyways.

Try folding it over once instead of rolling, and wear a longer shirt if you can to cover the waistband. Also, try using a safety pin to sort of gather the material along the waistband and make the skirt smaller. Do you have a belt? Try using one. If you usually air-dry your skirt, putting it in the dryer on high heat could shrink it for awhile, it works sometimes.

Good luck =]
