I thought i'd pass along this tidbit that I've been using on skirts after loosing a bit of weight (yay!)

I used to try and crudely alter the skirts myself, which resulted in ill fit and puckering. I like to keep my clothes until they completely wear out so I've been trying to find ways to still use items that might be just a smidge too large.

Example: for skirts, I layer underneath with a few key garments and add a skinny belt to keep the skirt in place (details here: http://bit.ly/114FFNj)

The technique has worked well on many skirts and saved me some $$ !
