Temporary expansion of a kilt
....Well technically a kilt skirt but it's the same construction as a 5 yard casual wool kilt worn at the p@nts waist only shorter and I figured someone would have some ideas as to a solution
So here's my problem: Due to a certain condition (pregnant) my waistline is expanding by the day and I can probably expect to add several more inches within the next 17-18 weeks.
My first thought was strap extenders, but they don't sell those for ladies' kilts. (at least I haven't found any!)
My second thought was temporarily attaching some black elastic to the straps for some "give" depending on whether I'm sitting or standing, or whether the baby decides to be high or low that particular minute.
I think that might work but I don't know if I can do that without hurting my 16 oz wool.
So what's the prognosis? Do you think I can rig something up or am I doomed to have to buy a sash instead so I can wear tartan too? (my husband is a little shy to wear his kilt out in public unless I wear mine
)

Edit: I want to wear it UNDER my belly so the expansion there will only be about 3-5 inches...I hope.
