I thought I'd share something that has been working well for me.
I've been living in elastic waist bands as of late which aren't stable enough to support a holster. What I have been doing is putting my belt on around my waist with my crossbreed on, then tuck the waistband into the belt clips. The first few times I didn't tuck the waistband in and it worked but the waistband rode up and caught on the edge of the kydex and I was concerned that it would interfere if I had to draw. I haven't tried this with thin or drapey/clingy fabric but it works great with sweats, pajama pants and the cotton skirts I own. I found that I did have to check how straight the hem was a bit more frequently but that's fairly standard anyway. I've been thinking that dots of the double sided sticky tape, the kind used to keep necklines and sleeves from gaping, arranged around the belt would help keep the waist level. Or really big paperclips.
I leave my shirt untucked as the belt clips stand out quite a bit since you aren't visibly wearing a belt, and I arrange the elastic to make sure it isn't stretched or bunched between the clips but otherwise I don't even notice it. It's actually a little more comfortable for me as I've lost a bit of weight so the waistbands on my jeans bunch up under my belt, plus it pulls the gun in closer and conceals it even better. I wear mine at the 3:00 position and my husband had to stop and look to see that I was wearing it when I asked.
