Nice pattern; I was very grateful for it. I wasn't sure how many stitches to use for the shoulders, though. Did I miss something?

If the gauge was correct, the skirt should fit.

I find very thin elastic that can threaded in a yarn needle, sewn along a waistband, corrects any "skirt won't stay up problems," ouch easier for small fingers to pull on too. Stretchy.

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.
