Pin the new skirt to the waist seam of the original skirt to secure it in place, then sew it with your machine or small hand stitches.

QuestionWhich is better, tulle or netting? It is going under a long dress.Holly PacierCommunity AnswerI would recommend netting, or whichever is stiffer. You'll need the support. Also, I would recommend wearing a long slip underneath, as both tulle and netting can feel quite scratchy and may be irritating to the skin.

QuestionI have a dress with tulle. When I walk, the dress makes alot of noise. Is there any way to fix this so there is no ruffling noise?PhoebeAmelia24Community AnswerThe easiest way to deal with this is to just hold it while you walk. You could also puff up the tulle a little bit, so instead of ruffling up against the other layers, it would then just sit on them.
