Tailors' tacks- not the kind you mark with, but the kind that are
like 1/2 - 1" thread tacks. You see these in better lined trowsers.
Think of it as a handmade buttonhole run in the air. . . . threads
are laid down between the lining hem and the garment hem, then
buttonhole stitched over. They prevent the trowser lining legs from
creeping up. In commercial garments chainette is used, so you could
even crochet them from fine thread.
It might be wise to lay in a few along the seams. In a skirt, if the
hems are anchored but the creepage persists, you'll get bunching in
the interior.
Think about where your stocking-clad legs rub the inside. Perhaps a
layer of very thin poly lining, strategically applied, would help (if
the problem is _not_ static cling! if it is, poly would exacerbate
the issue!).
