I can't believe how long my rise looks, especially in the back shot! But anyway, all that is hidden. I hated the feeling that with the low rise jeggings my bottom might not be fully covered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359462 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 09:10:35 +0000 Louise 359462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea how clever x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359419 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 04:54:55 +0000 Kari 359419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you are so crafty. I'll have to think about this as a solution to the jeggings I just don't wear because they fall down (and cause major muffin toppage) so easily. My issue is kind of the opposite of yours because I know you are long-waisted, but I'm very long in the rise, so I guess the cause is related. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359408 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 04:20:03 +0000 elpgal 359408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great coincidence! I am altering a pair of pants but in the opposite fashion - I am cutting away the waistband and adding knit fabric to it to lower the rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359393 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:36:35 +0000 Anonymous 359393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea! I will remember to trim the tops off of old leggings/jeggings in the event I need to graft them onto fall-down pairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359378 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:21:10 +0000 Queen Mum 359378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359377 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:18:57 +0000 Crystal 359377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! I always want to wear my jeggings and leggings, but find myself constantly pulling them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359367 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:09:20 +0000 Angie 359367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very clever, Anne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-jeggings-alterations-increasing-the-rise#post-359347 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 02:42:26 +0000 anne 359347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of jeggings whose low rise really annoyed me, so I decided to try adding another layer to the top to increase it. I simply unpicked the waist elastic, sewed on a double layer of a knit fabric and then re did the waist.<br /> I admit I used pink only because I didn't have anything else, and because I always cover up with jeggings anway.</p> <p>If doing this again, I may not go quite so high, as if properly pulled up, it is right at my natural waist. It does sag slightly, giving me a bit of MT (pic 3) but all jeans do this anyway </p>
