Walking in prim skirt

I finally got to making pretty decent-looking prim skirts, but their usability seems a little questionable. My problem is with prims that start from below the knees, or around knees.

The style looks cool when standing (one particular pose :/) But when I start walking, the prims get a life of their own. First I got them attached to legs... when I found how it looked, I thought attaching them to pelvis would help... it didn't :(

Is there a way to have below-the knees -starting prim skirts and be able to walk in them without the prims looking like they're possessed?

I usually use lower leg...

but elaborate more on what you mean by a life of it's own?

is it flex? if it is, might want to play with it's stiffness? amount of flex?

is it that u see your skin underneath? If it is, try glitch pants? or socks?

Thank you for answering Elle :)

The prims are flexi, and I don't mind them flowing, it's all good, but the top part, which they are attached from, sort of comes un-attached from the leg when walking. With prims that start higher than the knee I have managed to fix that by sinking the top of the prims deeper into the body (more room to sink), but it doesn't work with attachments below the knees.

The only solution I can think of, is burying the top parts of the prims so deep inside the legs, that no matter how they move, they still look like part of the dress. I don't know if they will show up on the other side of the leg tho.. sort of like pushing through the leg.

I use glitch pants, so it's not skin showing, but the tops of the prims that are attached to the base skirt come out of the skirt itself, when moving.
