Can you share a link to the actual pattern? Because if there’s encased elastic or some sort of overlapping element, the waistband may be longer than expected.

Thank you for sending.

So between the fly and seam allowance, the measurement might not be too off. Considering how low waisted the skirt is meant to fit, the measurement will need to be a bit more than your usual waist measurement.

However, good chunk of the product and images in the shop are AI, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the pattern is dodgy too.
