Nike Skort Copy

I have two of these Nike skorts that I have owned for at least 10 years. It could easily be 20. I love them. Super comfortable. The short part has a nice gusset that is more like a rectangle than a triangle. It goes from the bottom of one leg, across the crotch, and down to the bottom of the other leg. No seams around the sensitive bits. It seems a better design.

So I figured I'd try to copy it. The skirt of this version is a very thin cotton jersey. It's a little too thin and maybe too static-producing to be suitable for tennis, but I'll give it a shot. The skort is likewise too thin but it's 4-way stretch so it could in theory work.

I made the waistband too long so it scrunches up hideously. It's not uncomfortable, and a tee-shirt hides it pretty well. I used drawstring elastic because that's what the Nike shorts have. It's coming in handy on the Nike shorts, whose elastic is losing its elasticity after all these years, but it's rather overkill on this copy, although maybe I was thinking I wouldn't have to be so precise with the waistband length.

I will shorten the waistband by 7 inches next time, and I was thinking I'd add a few inches in length. Maybe, maybe not.
