Ultra-low-rise jeans. These flatter no one. NO ONE!!!!!
Except those of us with really short legs and really short waists. They are a godsend to us since they don't come up to our belly buttons.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am guaranteed to have one of those tops Juliana dislikes, and statistics lean towards it having puff sleeves. The puff sleeves probably look stupid with my embiggening delts, and for some reason I don't mind looking pregnant, if indeed I do.
I do hate wearing flip flops and wedges, though.

Ooo, Teppy, you may have given me a reason to go back into Target. I am not a fan of things that bring attention to my tits, but that shirt may work.
I'm wearing my Perky Goth t-shirt at the moment. Gilly the Perky Goth is always welcom on my bosom.

Regular low-rise, yes. Ultra low-rise where you have to have a bikini wax to wear it in public? No.
I accidentally have wound up (online ordering of used things) with pants where the rise was low enough that I couldn't wear my ultra low rise panties without them showing.
Those would be the kind of pants in question.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's flattering and is totally comfortable. Machine-washable, and $16. LOVE.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Exactly. Low-rise is a godsend to me, because of the whole no-torso thing. Ultra low rise of the kind Plei speaks of is what draws my hate.
But her post made me giggle, since, superficially, I *am* wearing that kind of shirt, and it *does* go over my hips.
You just gotta be difficult, dont'cha?? (Hee!)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I think low-rise pants have gotten lower over the past couple of years. The last time I bought jeans, I tried on what I thought were the exact same style I was replacing, but they only came about halfway up my hips so I ended up going with what was then being called "natural waist" or something.

Fatty McMe likes to have higher jeans for the pseudo-girdle effect it gives me. I may have muffin top, but at least I don't have a camel toe.

Yeah. I finally had to replace my one pair of jeans (from 1997!), and I had to find them in the men's department. Low-rise bootcut Levi's, baybee, for $16.99 at Target. I love Target.
