It is not unusual for me to have to do this because my waist is proportionately large for my size and I hate pinchy elastic!</p> <p>Glad to hear they are going to do it because it is a gorgeous skirt and I love it on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092427 Tue, 14 Jan 2020 01:31:11 +0000 nemosmom 2092427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo!

So I should have it back in a week with a new, looser waistband! $35 but I get a Nordstrom Note for the same amount so the alteration is essentially free — Woohoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092251 Mon, 13 Jan 2020 14:16:58 +0000 Janet 2092251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, I ordered the M upon Angie's recommendation that it's TTS. Well, it is, except for the pinchy waistband. I probably could have gotten the L but it's too late now. I'm hoping to get to Nordstrom today.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092249 Mon, 13 Jan 2020 14:14:04 +0000 Anonymous 2092249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great skirt! I was tempted to get but the L sold out and they said it ran small. Can't hurt to check with a tailor and see what they recommend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092241 Mon, 13 Jan 2020 14:03:46 +0000 Janet 2092241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tina, it's hard to tell, but I think the elastic is just inserted into the waistband fabric -- the fabric itself is stretchy mesh over a stretchy black underlayer, but the elastic fits snugly inside the waistband, probably to prevent it from flipping around (I've had that problem with other elastic waists especially after laundering). It occurred to me that it may be possible to simply replace that whole waistband with a wide black elastic band (like in this photo) -- it would blend in with the skirt since the skirt has so much black in it. But I would consider that more of a last resort even though I don't tuck tops often, since I would prefer to keep the style as intact as possible.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092232 Mon, 13 Jan 2020 13:50:24 +0000 Laura 2092232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt! Nordstrom alterations dept. does amazing things, so I hope they can work their magic on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092156 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 23:01:01 +0000 Tina 2092156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like the elastic is actually part of the waist band, can you tell if it’s serged into the band or can you move it inside the casing? If it’s a part of the band it will be a much more involved alteration. Either way, I hope it stays. What a gorgeous piece and it suits your figure so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist/page/2#post-2092134 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 20:42:28 +0000 Carla 2092134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like one of those magic garments that seems to work with EVERYTHING. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092131 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 20:37:53 +0000 Helena 2092131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I hope it works out to loosen it as it looks SO good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092089 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 17:43:08 +0000 lyn67 2092089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt it's a rare and so your own&nbsp; color scheme!!

I also don't particularly want more fabric around the hips, which I expect a size up would give me. I'm crossing fingers that an alteration would work. The actual fabric is a good size for me, it's just the elastic in the waistband that's just a bit too...vigorous. LOL I'm not one of those ladies who is in danger of anything sliding down off of my hips.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092080 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 16:55:06 +0000 JAileen 2092080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s really pretty on you. &nbsp;I like it best in 5. &nbsp;I’ve adjusted elastic plenty of times, and agree that making something smaller is easier than the reverse. &nbsp;Can you stalk it for awhile to see if it comes back into stock? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092077 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 16:40:10 +0000 Suz 2092077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! Hoping they can help you alter it -- it's beautiful and right up your alley, as you say. Super easy for you to style and wear and feel "you" in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092074 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 16:31:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 2092074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a beautiful skirt,fingers &nbsp;crossed that the waist can be sorted,comfort is so important,you don’t want anything that’s tight or you will end up not wearing it and that would be a crying shame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092053 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 14:40:00 +0000 nemosmom 2092053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great skirt, Janet! I love those two motos with it! Let us know what the tailor says - I hope they can fix it; it's perfect for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092052 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 14:34:20 +0000 avicennia 2092052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet — what a lovely selection of blues. Especially the bag. I’m on the lookout for this color of blue myself. I like the skirt with the rust and burgundy tops and be blue jacket, not as much with the blue sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092051 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 14:30:52 +0000 Glory 2092051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the thread but chiming in to say I hope they can alter the waist because it’s a fabulous skirt on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092049 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 14:27:28 +0000 Janet 2092049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I would be worried about yanking on the waist that way with this particular piece -- the fabric is light and gauzy and I wouldn't want to risk ripping it along where the elastic is sewn in. The fabric itself has a lot of stretch too. I suspect this particular elastic is sturdy enough that a yank would not do the trick.&nbsp;<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092048 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 14:19:01 +0000 kkards 2092048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG this skirt is beautiful&nbsp;and looks fab on you...fingers crossed that they are able to tweak the waist to make it perfect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092043 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 13:07:11 +0000 Janet 2092043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I will take it into Nordstrom for a chat with the tailor. </p> <p>Lynette, I love that blue and it’s a signature color for me. It hasn’t been easy to find in clothing pieces for the last couple of years, especially for anything in summer, but I do try it when I see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092010 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 07:47:29 +0000 Lynette 2092010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Janet, I think this is one of my favorites on you! And if u haven’t picked your color for the year yet I vote that cobalt blue of your jacket! So awesome on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092006 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 07:05:08 +0000 Bijou 2092006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a 10 on you - just beautiful and you have all the perfect accompanying pieces to get lots of wear from this skirt. I would definitely see if the tailor can make the slight alteration that is needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuzzi-printed-skirt-%e2%80%94-altering-elastic-waist#post-2092004 Sun, 12 Jan 2020 06:58:37 +0000 rachylou 2092004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s true that not all elastic is the same. I feel like this should be a doable alteration... </p>
