[Please excuse the wrinkles]
It's been sitting in my closet over 2 years, collecting dust because I can't wear it. One day, I couldn't take it anymore, and slimmed down the sides within 5 minutes. Love it!
I used the French seam technique - the same way how I slimmed down the sleeves of a blue dress a few months ago.
I took a skirt with a similar style that fits me comfortably, and laid it on top of this yellow skirt. I literally took a Sharpie [which I don't really recommend, heh heh] and drew a line down both sides adding a tad bit more to the width...maybe about 1/8":
I sew on the lines I drew, cut off the excess fabric, turned it inside out, and sew another line which encased the raw hem inside. The best part is that the pockets on the sides are still there!
Now I can wear it again.
So happy.
Good luck!
