3 Ways To Stop A Skirt From Turning – Reverse Style

[ad_1]

Reader question -I see the skirts are swirling so I avoid them but maybe you have a tip or two.

In this video, I share 3 ways how to prevent your skirts from curling.

Skirt rotation can happen for a number of reasons…

Does the skirt fit your natural waist or hips? If a skirt fits your hips, the movement of your hips as you walk will constantly move the fabric up, down, and to the side. This move is more likely to move the skirt and turn it around. The waistline stays flat, so a waistband that fits your natural waistline will have a more stable base.

The shape of your skirt also affects its tendency to bend. A pencil or straight-cut skirt is more likely to bend with the movement of your legs. The fabric will move to a smaller part of your body where there is less tension on the fabric.

Woven (non-stretch) fabric skirts are also more likely to move than stretchy ones, as the woven skirt fabric won’t stretch on movement when you move it, but instead pulls and twists the garment around your body.

Other times, the bend may be caused by a satchel sitting on your hips.

So how do you stop a skirt from spinning?

1. Style it according to your curves!

Make sure the skirt is comfortable enough to allow you to move freely in your hips. It should also be tight enough to keep it from sliding down your natural waistline. If you have a longer skirt, you modify it and tuck it in a little more at the waist, making it a higher-waisted skirt. A high-waisted skirt is less likely to turn. Luckily for you, it’s the current trend for high waisted clothing, so there should be plenty of choice, both online and in stores.

2. Add a Belt

To prevent your skirt from twisting, you can try wearing a belt around your hips or waist, or adding sheer elastic strips inside some of your strapless clothing and swimsuits to the inside of your skirt belt.

3. Accessory

If your skirt is bent by a handbag that rests on your hips, try a backpack or a smaller shoulder bag.
