You did a great job, it looks good. I also have an a-line skirt that had similar issues. It’s that thing where you know the issues with it, but other people don’t, so you think it’s weird bit others think it looks great. It looks great, your adaptations worked! 😊 learning the details of alterations is a fantastic skillset!
