Then layer the Petal Overskirt on top of the Tulle Overskirt with the side seams lined up and the top edge extending 1/2” above the top edge of the Skirt. Fold the extended edge to the inside and baste.
     
  5. Cut elastic to the correct waist length plus 1”. Overlap ends of elastic and stitch securely.
     
  6. On the wrong side of the skirt, place the elastic 1/4” below the folded top edge of the Petal Overskirt and topstitch. (Note: While sewing, stretch elastic to fit skirt edge.)
