I think there is a problem with the skirt. I made this suit & it turned out fine except that there is no shape to the skirt and it is so large that it won't stay up. Shouldn't there be a smaller waist. I have it doubled over with velcro, but I'm sure that isn't the way it should be.

If the gauge was correct, the skirt should fit.
