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.
