My waist is the place of least resistance for a skirt to go! I do much better with A-line skirts, as well as skirts that sit on the smallest part of me. Mostly I just say F*it though, and go for jeans or a dress. I'll consider bringing a skirt to the tailor to be brought in at the waist, though.

It's so aggravating! Especially when you've got an armful of stuff and you are unable to put it down to adjust your outfit! In addition to that, I've found I have another problem! I have a skirt or two that are of the tighter variety that ride up in the front, but not the back! Can anyone help? Ah, I have this problem with a few skirts! It’s so aggravating!

She does wear her shirts untucked. I wonder if this sort of thing would help with the shifting, too.

I hate having to fuss with an outfit once it's on. I do however, love the look of a highwaisted skirt and have purchased a few. I've been belting them and that seems to help keep them in place.

Makes frocks an instantly better option! I suspect that the way we walk and what we carry plays a role. Adiel, is your skirt too big? Maya, so far I have not needed to get an intentionally longer skirt for this alteration and I am 5ft 6. But skirts are shorter this season and losing two inches can make a big difference. Sal, you crack me up. Masking that little extra around the middle can work with a higher waist if it acts as a girdle and you wear tops un-tucked. Joy, you are creative. Let us know if your lateral idea works. Alisha, I’ve tried fashion tape and was unsuccessful. Also I have to watch my eczema prone skin. I hope you have better luck.

It's works I use it on a lot of my vest armholes and dresses to stick my bra straps to the piece of clothing i'm wearing so the bra straps won't show. I hate when the tops or dress shift and expose my bra straps. Two words — Fashion Tape.

When I first bought them I had no problem--they did not shift and the waistband was at my natural waist. But since I have lost weight, they are looser and sit below my waist. I guess it's time to take them in! I also have one or two skirts that tend to shift on me–especially when I am carrying one of my larger shoulder bags.

Mine always rise up on my belly and then twist, making them doubly annoying. This is actually one of the reasons I stopped wearing the skirts I have and stopped buying skirts!
