This is great for children's clothing. You just open the knot of the elastic band and tie a new one to make it wider, or replace the elastic. The more the fabric at waistband is ruffled the more you can expand the waist to accommodate a child's growth. This is great during rapid growth bursts when you cannot kerp buying new clothes every couple of weeks. Before overlockers were ubiquitous, and clothes were more expensive, all clothes came with a wide seam allowance, tgat allowed weight fluctuation. Especially children's clothes came with a generous seam allowance: you could just open up the seam and sew it again a bit closer to the edge of the fabric to a new size. We called it "easing the seams" or "letting out seam".. If you opened the seam at the bottom of trouser legs, you would find fabric folded inside to allow adding length, until you only had enough for a narrow seam. It was a different, waste not, want not era, when patching clothes for home and playground were acceptable and common practice and men were also expected to know how to darn their own socks.

I think it's always better to just permanently alter the waist than to do this. I used to use shoelaces as well but if you use it on waists that are bit too big, when the laces are tied, the waist area doesn't really look good. Not noticable if you wear a long shirt over it.

You can rip the tag out of the back and pull the thread out and do that with elastic also, and then tuck the elastic inside the waistband and hand tack it down instead of cutting holes, just rip a few stitches out from the bottom of the waistband, and tucked the elastic up into it, and then sew it back shut again. I sew the tag back on threw the elastic when I’m done.

this is easier to do if you thread it through by attaching a safety pin to the end of the lace (easier to grab and less friction against the fabric) also you can use an elastic with the little button holes and attach buttons to the sides of the skirt (inside, ca. 2 inches from belly button on each side) and then thread the elastic through like shown and use the button holes to secure it on the buttons you’ve sewn in. it’s a little more complicated, but may be more comfortable for some people. i usually prefer this method.
