![]() So I’ve started to wonder if I should stick to this high, high waist style. The last couple of trouser I bought (assumed to be my size) meant that the backwaist was where it was supposed to be, but to get the crotch sitting in my crotch, I had to pull the trousers up to almost breast height, which is weirdly comfortable, but looks weird if I only wear brahs and trousers. No, I’m not tall, but the wide legs under flaring tunics give the idea of the trousers being extension of that flare (my humble opinion, your miles may vary). I never wear shirts in my trousers, I tend to wear flaring tunics and wide legged trousers, too. And the last thing I want to do is keep having to pull up my trousers, paying attention to my figure. My biggest problem with this is that, as every human does, I breathe, and when I breathe my belly (both Bs) move, so, like others mentioned above, I end up with that high waist in my actual waist (which is a lot smaller than this higher waist). It’s such a relief to finally find my belly shape represented.īut… I’ve tried this, mostly because I had a sewing instructor who insisted that’s where my waistline sat. What do you think, will you be giving this fitting strategy a try? This insight, together with the fact that most plus size, large busted women are very short waisted, explains why so many Cashmerette patterns are high waisted! You’ll find the waistband on dresses like the Upton Dress, Holyoke Maxi Dress & Skirt, and Lenox Shirtdress will likely hit you at that upper curve, and I think it’s one of the invisible reasons that so many curvy sewists feel confident in our designs. Then, as a bonus, when you tuck in your top, nothing’s pulling or cutting-in either. What I’ve discovered is what I think is a much better approach: place your waistband on the upper curve-so a high-waisted style-and you get rid of all those issues! No cutting in, and the pants or skirt typically lie much flatter down your front. If you then tuck your top in, it’s not going to be smooth. ![]() A lot of clothes are designed to be worn in that indent – and indeed I’ve found most ready-to-wear clothes from the shops-especially jeans and pants-have the waistband end up there.īut here’s the issue: wearing your waistbands there cuts into you, pushes the upper part of your belly out, and tends to cling to the lower part of your belly. Typically, your waist is thought of as the smallest part of you, which many people then understandably assume is the dent in between the two curves of your tummy. The “traditional” way of dressing with a “B belly” It’s a super common type of tummy to have. Well, it’s a belly that looks like a “B” from the side! There are two curves, with an indent in the middle. Want to design and sketch your sewing plans on a body figure that looks like you? Get your free MyBodyModel preview » What is a “B belly”? ![]()
