Re: More on A Moveable Waist from Threads Issue #144
I havn't seen any one address this problem but I have been assured that it is a common one. I have a tilted waist. The back of my waist is 6" higher than the front. This causes me no end of problems short of wearing elastic waist pants and long sweaters. Anything with a belt makes me feel like Friar Tuck. Dresses that are high waisted or low waisted will work but are not always in style.Anything that is tucked in - as in a blouse means that the problem is very visual and the belt on the skirt or pants is probably folded over a couple of times. How can I make clothes that fit and look good and feel good without investing in a victorian corset - even that probably wouldn't solve the problem. What styles can I wear other than the tried and true hang out blouse/shirt, baggy sweater? I am a larger size person who is 5'3" tall but even when I got down to a size 12 the problem was more pronounced. Any suggestions short of plastic surgery?
