In reply to Alma. I do not know how it will hang when you add boning, isnt it a little stiff? And it can cut fabric. A horsehair braid along the hem can give weight to the hem. I have also read about gripper tape like this one - thesewingplace.com /snug-tex-waistband-gripper-3-row/

Dear Sarina

Thank you for your article on boning. My problem is: all my skirts slide up at least 20cms. Even skorts do the same. I was thinking of stiffening them vertically in the length with plastic or fishbone. These could, however, damage the fabric which searches is way up. What would you recommend?

Absolutely fantastic tips and site! I’m really a beginner and had a few problems with Zips not working correctly. You have explained everything I needed to know/do, brilliantly and simply. Thank you very much Sarina.
