My favorite skirt and my favorite man.
Ever get a fabulous skirt and the slit is a bit to high? You desperately want to wear the skirt with out showing too much leg but if you sew up the slit you will end up taking baby steps in order to walk.
So here is the answer!!!!
The Slit Insert
1. Start with measuring your slit top to bottom and side to side.
2. Fold a piece of fabric over once and cut into a triangle shape on the fold to match the measurements you took. Cut your triangle a bit wider so you have more "give" when you walk.
3. Pin the edges of your fabric.
4. With a sewing machine or by hand sew up the raw sides of your triangle.
(You don't have to do this part, I just wanted a more solid piece of materiel to work with.)
5. Tack it down in a few spots. (I just did this by hand at the top, bottom, and middle sides of the triangle.)
6. Wear your favorite skirt!!!

Thank you for this blog! I was looking online to find out how to fix a slit that was too high and this is the only place that I could find it relatively easy. My daughter is very interested in dress designing and I am going to let her know about your blog! Have a wonder-filled 2011!
ReplyDeleteThis is an AWESOME tutorial & I'm totally going to use it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm an experienced seamstress, but put away all my sewing equipment years ago. Your blog has inspired me to drag it all out again! I actually got a moo moo (sp?) for Christmas (I was horrified!). The fabric, however, is GORGEOUS!!! I bought the Cynthia Rowley pattern I saw on your blog, and will be giving it a serious makeover. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog from pintrest. LOVE it.
ReplyDeletecame across your blog while looking for a fix for a slit that is too high and I am slightly panicked as the wedding that I bought the dress for is in one day...I didn't bother sitting down it in when I bought it!
ReplyDeletesuch a cute blog! keep at it!
ReplyDeleteLooking for tips on how to reduce too high splits for ages now ... thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI just used your skirt slit instructions for my daughter's dress. Thank you
ReplyDeleteGood idea. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I was looking for!
ReplyDeleteFound my way here from Pinterest - sweet blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the useful tips. I dont' have a sewing machine so I'll just skip that part. However, you just said to "tack down" the triangle within the slit. Did you simply use fabric glue? If so, did that last?
ReplyDeleteFunny, I put my skirt on, thought this slit is too high, found your site, looked at the picture. This is the same skirt! From express right? With a high front waist with small clasps? Beautiful skirt. Too high slit. Thanks. I'm going to try this..

ReplyDeleteThis was awhile ago, but if anyone is wondering, usually it means a couple basting stitches.
