Since we were in a hurry (60's dance in two hours lol) I just made a waistband the length of the huge opening in the skirt, sewed it on and gathered it alot on the elastic. It turned out pretty well and though we didn't win the prize she had a huge amount of fun twirling around in it :) When i made a circle skirt for a friend it turned out big enough for the both of us!

You just have to cut it A LOT smaller than you think you'll need, and keep making it a teeny bit bigger. Every fabric acts differently, so you just have to be super super careful.

I just sew a seam to close up the 10 inches and cut off the rest. but I was trying to not have a seam. :( Yeah no I did the math and a pattern and everything and it’s about 10 inches too big for my waist.
