Hello! You asked a question about my circle skirt in green toile fabric. I made the waistband with elastic, and you said you had made one with a zipper. Mine fit well at the waist, but of course it had a lot of stretch in it. I do know that since circle skirts are cut out of one piece of fabric, some of it ends up being cut on the bias, so it is generally bigger or looser around the waist then expected. If you’re skirt doesn’t fit well around the waist without a belt then try putting side seams to take in some of the extra.
