Extendable waistband: this feature enables your child to wear their skirt for longer as they grow! Hidden behind the satin clothing label inside the skirt, you’ll find a yarn in a contrasting color, whip-stitched across an opening. Remove this contrasting strand of yarn to gain access to the elastic waistband. From there, you can pull the elastic band out far enough to cut through it, then pull it out completely. Try the skirt on your child. If it fits without elastic, great! If you need to add a new, longer piece of elastic, just purchase 3/4” knit elastic, wrap around your child’s waist with a comfortable amount of stretch, cut, and insert into the now-empty waistband channel, feeding it through one side with the help of a safety pin on the end for easier guiding. Once you’ve made it all the way around, simply sew the two ends together using a medium-long zig-zag stitch on a sewing machine. Use a piece of yarn to whip stitch the access hole back together, and you’re done.
If you don’t have a sewing machine or simply don’t want to bother with this yourself, just email hello@quailruncottage.com and we can work out the details for you to drop it off or mail it in and we’ll make the adjustment for you for free! Note that sizing up MORE than one full size larger is not guaranteed.
Care: The Windborne skirt is machine washable! Place skirt inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent other clothing from snagging on it. Wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Remove from laundry bag and tumble dry on the lowest heat setting or lay flat to dry.
