Low-rise jeans have been my SALVATION :: everybody say amen ::
When low-rise first came out, lo these 10 years ago, that rise was my salvation. I think they call them medium-rise now? Whatever, I just want to make sure I don't need to get a Brazilian wax in order to wear jeans. (Which it's too hot for in SF currently. Phew.)
I know you'll be a little busy while you're here, but I hope to see you this weekend! For more than the five minutes I saw you last time you were in town!
I guess it depends on how much of a slavedriver the wee one is! But, yes, I hope to see you.
the smirky sarcasm is going to get old really fast
Sadly, I have to point at the current incumbent ... eight years of smirky self-satisfaction.
Are the Nordies fitters no help? They're really the only place I trust for a fitting.
Oh I agree, they are good. But yeah, there have been times when nothing fit me, even at Nordo. Eh. It just means I try to buy a few when I find something.
I wear a somewhat larger than "average" size bra and I've found that every so often Marshall's or some other discount place will get an influx of GOOD bras in my size. There are a couple of brands that seem to fit just right and, when I see them, I ransack the racks, scoop up everything in my size, and carry them off in triumph.
Low-rise jeans have been my SALVATION
And I can't wear low-rise jeans AT ALL!
clothing is funny!
I'm apple-shaped and carry most of my weight in my belly and boobs. My waist line is the bane of my existence. The pants I get to fit my waist slide right off my hips.
And I can't wear low-rise jeans AT ALL!
An 8 1/2"-9" rise hits me right about my hip bones. Anything lower and the evidence of the two pregnancies makes itself well-known. Plus, I have a mole I really need to have removed that sits right at my hipbone and if I'm not careful, it can get extremely irritated by a ill-placed waistband.
At the moment the only bras I wear are Champions, mostly because of my long torso and big rib cage -- they have the longest straps on the market.
Seriously, I have the body of a 6' woman and the legs of a 5'5" woman. It's so annoying.
