That might be it. I can't wear a rise below 13" and I often have a waistband that gapes. My ideal back rise is 14-15. The fact that I'm petite, shortwaisted, and don't have exceptionally curvy hips is secondary. I need to cover up that butt! Like the other girls have mentioned, a curved waistband is best. I like around 10" in the front, and nothing under 9". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-when-i-sit-down-my-jeans-do-this-they-are-goners-#post-23263 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 03:30:36 +0000 shiny 23263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have a tiny waist (i.e., pretty pear shape with waist/hip ratio under 0.7), we learned this tip on our Saturday trip: you simply need to have the waistband taken in a pinch in the back!! </p> <p>My DD has this issue - no matter what jeans she tries, no matter how low or high the rise. It's because she has such a teeny-tiny waist!! The sales people showed us how just taking them in a pinch at the waist solves this issue completely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-when-i-sit-down-my-jeans-do-this-they-are-goners-#post-23146 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:32:47 +0000 Nicole 23146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since they are not comfortable and driving you crazy, then they are not keepers. Even if you wore a long shirt that covered your business, you'd still feel the pants riding too low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-when-i-sit-down-my-jeans-do-this-they-are-goners-#post-23145 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:29:35 +0000 Tanya 23145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Becky on the contoured waist band thing, I like all of my jeans to be high in the back even if they are somewhat low in the front. The proper length top helps too. If I am not sure what the tops will do when I sit down, I wear an extra-long ( just a bit above the crotch) cami underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-when-i-sit-down-my-jeans-do-this-they-are-goners-#post-23110 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:27:43 +0000 Becky 23110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you need a higher rise in the back than in the front (contour waistband)? I have a generous booty and I find jeans with a higher back rise fit me better. Is your top long enough to wear with pants? Your pants tops should be 1-3 inches above the crotch point. Maybe you are wearing a top that is a better length to wear with a skirt. If the jeans are just uncomfortable overall because of this issue, I certainly wouldn't keep them. You'll never wear them if the issue can't be resolved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-when-i-sit-down-my-jeans-do-this-they-are-goners-#post-23109 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:27:28 +0000 Ana 23109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it either means your shirt is too short, or the rise of the jeans is too low. I personally avoid low rise jeans because of this very thing. It's just not very comfortable for me. I always test this out before purchasing jeans by sitting down in the fitting room (or if there is no seat, just squatting to see what they do, how they stretch, etc). If it's driving you crazy, then I'd say toss them. If you have a pair of pants that you love the fit and how they feel when you sit down, then measure the back and front rise of those and look for jeans that have a similar rise. Do you know how to do that? For me, at least an 8" front rise and 13" back rise is optimal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-when-i-sit-down-my-jeans-do-this-they-are-goners-#post-23108 Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:23:45 +0000 Debbie 23108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a SAHM 49 years old and I have a pair of ON Diva jeans.
