Elastic waist skirts

elpgal

I know it is probably a fashion no-no, but I really like full elastic waist or at least elasticized with a hook and zippper skirts. I wear around the house or while running errands when I feeling cranky because of bloating issues.

I like them to be about knee-length, relatively straight or slightly A-line with no hem ruffles or bulky gathers. I have some Merona skirts from Target but all of them are too worn out now. If anybody has seen anything like these, please let me know.

How about something likes these knit skirts? Just as comfy and deal with the bloaties, but a little more fashion forward.

or even an empire waisted day dress?

Can you sew? They're very easy to make.

chewyspaghetti: I love your user name. You have the right idea. I have the exact Target one that you linked and they look pretty polished. I tried the ON ones but they fit very strangely. If I try to pull them up to my waist, it highlights my bloated tummy. Also, they are VERY stretchy.

Imogen: I do have a sewing machine but have not progressed beyond hemming dinner napkins. I am very tempted to try a skirt. Do you have a favourite pattern that you recommend?
