The skirts I have seen had seams finished by hand overcastting. But not with
the seams together-you might need to let it out.

With skirts this full, most letting out is done with redistributing the fabric
as opposed to letting a seam out. Besides, the seam allowances are like 1/4 an
inch!

Subject: [h-cost] seam treatments
Hello again. I"m working away on my Civil War era ensemble, and my
question for today is: seam treatments for skirts--if I am using an
unterlining, rather than a separately made lining, should the seams be
finished in some way, left raw, or sewn together at the edge with a
running stitch?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Yours in cosutming, Li saA
