The waist would be a horizontal oval intersecting those points, right?
Not a shape which dips down from the horizontal while intersecting those
points.
I have to roll the front waistband of off-the-rack skirts so that the
hem hangs horizontal because of this. If I had the time, I'd hem the
skirts properly.
If you really want the skirts to hang properly do as the women of the
victorian age did and take the excess off of the top of the skirt and
not the bottom. That way the grainline is still horizontal at the
bottom and the excess is taken off of the top, where the problem is...
This keeps the vertical grainline straight all around.
