Finding and understanding your body type

tabletop butt

Maya

I have this problem where when I wear longer tops, they tend to ride up in the back and sit on top of my bum. Does that make sense? They'll still be the right length in the front, but in the back they bunch up and just sit on top of my butt, which I often don't catch until I see a reflection of myself in a window or something. It's so incredibly annoying. Is there nothing that can be done about this? I think it usually happen after I sit down. Once I get up, my butt pushes all that extra fabric upwards. I'm hoping there's another solution besides just yanking it down every time, but I think that might be it.

Hi Maya, I do know what you mean--it happens to me too, and I don't have much booty going on. I can't think of anything that will realistically cure this problem. Do you find it is more of a problem with certain length shirts? I find the longer the shirt, the more likely it is to happen--which makes sense since a shorter shirt does not go that far down my bum.

Hmm, this happens to me all the time, especially if the material is stretchy. Nothing has really helped, other than pulling the shirt down ever so often. I guess I wasn't much of the help here :(

I think this is a common problem. Unfortunately, I don't have any other solution besides yanking it down every so often...sorry to not be of much help.

Well, even though there's no solution I'm comforted to know that I'm far from alone on this. I guess I'll just try and remember to yank my shirt down...

I have that problem too, when I wear something even a little clingy or made of knit material. My husband even has that problem with t-shirts, so I think it's an affliction everyone has. :) It's not something I "notice" on other women (like ppl), and it doesn't bother me personally, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
