Legging help needed....
I'm making leggings for my outfit out of charcoal knit fabric, and have come across a bit of a snag (not literally, thankfully). They're pretty much done, but i put them on and they don't fit perfect. The front puckers a bit and while it's not the end of the world, ideally i'd like to resolve it if possible at this point.
(i apologize for the crappy photo... i can't use flash in my mirror - too dirty!!)
See? My belly button sits about 1/2 way through the waistband. Yes, they're supposed to be high-waisted pants as i'm wearing a corset and shirt and don't want the waistband showing at all. It doesn't look as bad when i'm wearing the corset as it covers up some of it, and a belt will further hide it.
Will simply taking in the seam fix the issue? If i pull them up higher & tight, the wrinkles pull out, but its' not going to stay like that. I might also be able to take the waistband in a bit more too, but i don't want to make that too tight.
And on a rather different note, anyone have any hints on how to make this: http://www.darcyclothing.com/shop/catalog/product/gallery/id/1602/image/308/
it looks like i can simply take a long piece of fabric, make a tube with nice ends and tie it, but i've never seen one in person nor a pattern (all i've found are cravats) so i don't know if there's a special shape it needs to have.
