Thank you again, everybody. Glad you like it. I hope it won't cost too much to alter it. It might be a bit tricky because it doesn't have a waistband and does have a zipper and a seam at the low hip. We'll see. The lining's not attached all the way, which should help.
Deborah, that is such a pretty look you posted! My single reservation about this particular skirt (apart from size) is that it won't work with pure white. I wish I had a cream or ivory button down to wear with it!
