Similarly one may ask, what are dress weights?
Dress weights, also known as hem weights, are weighted items that you can either sew into or tape onto your dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants. Their purpose is to weigh a fabric down so that it won't fly up with the wind.
Likewise, why do skirts ride up when walking? The reason your skirt rides up is because it is too tight. Any piece of clothing that is too tight will ride up or move to a smaller part of the body to accommodate less tension and strain on the fabric.
Consequently, how do you keep a wrap skirt closed?
Safety pins — you can pin the top of the dress closed; we've also placed a safety pin around the mid-thigh mark of the wrap. Double-sided tape — we've found it's better used to secure the safety-pinned edge so it lays flat rather than relying on double-sided tape to keep your dress shut.
How do you use curtain weights?
Simply lay it at the bottom of the hem across the width of the curtain. You can tack it with a couple stitches at the ends to hold it in place. Vinyl covered weights are great for outdoor curtains because they can withstand getting wet. Cloth covered drapery weights can easily be sewn into hems or tucked into corners.
