I have made two skirts and lots of bikinis. I always use stretch magic string (a plastic string). For smaller projects I use the smaller diameter, but when I make the bigger stuff I always use 1.00 mm diameter. It's a lot sturdier, and allows you to string it more tightly. So it gives a bit but not too much. I have to say though everyone has their own preference. Some people say the 1mm stuff is too hard to work with, it may take you a little longer, but I guarantee it won't fall apart. But I always use buttons as a closing mechanism so I don't have to worry about how to get it onto my waist.

personally I am using embroidery string, but then again I a not having the skirt connect to itself. But instead, have it tie together on the side
