That would totally work.&nbsp;</p> <p>I had always understood the waist to be the narrowest point on your torso -- which, yes, as Alexandra says, is usually pretty high up. Above the bellybutton, for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-where-is-my-natural-waist#post-1203616 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:46:22 +0000 leopardluxe 1203616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bend slightly to the side while just wearing your undergarments and looking in a mirror&nbsp;(like you're doing a sidebend exercise).</p> <p>The place where your waist bends naturally from&nbsp;is considered your natural or "true"&nbsp;waist.</p> <p>Hope this info helps and I'm sure Angie can give a much more well written and&nbsp;more detailed answer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-where-is-my-natural-waist#post-1203615 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:45:58 +0000 Alexandra 1203615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the garment-sewing world, the advice is usually to tie a length of narrow elastic around your waist and then bend sideways a few times (both sides) to let it settle. Where the elastic settles is your natural waist. Typically much higher than most people think (or would wear pants). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-where-is-my-natural-waist#post-1203610 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:43:36 +0000 Anonymous 1203610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's probably some where between the end of your ribcage and the top curve of your hip bone. Depending on what body shape you are, you may have a very defined natural waist (hourglass) or maybe you only have to eyeball it (rectangle). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-where-is-my-natural-waist#post-1203604 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:32:47 +0000 Kim 1203604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help where is my natural waist? </p>
