I'll look for higher rises in the future.</p> <p>Yes Angie, we've found a new apartment. We signed the papers on Saturday and will be moving in on the 16th. I'm excited. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problems-with-my-bermudas-rise-height-and-muffin-top#post-18497 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:36:13 +0000 Tanya 18497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that they are not worth the trouble. We shouldn't have to readjust what we are wearing every minute. I'd probably look for another pair that has a more comfortable rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problems-with-my-bermudas-rise-height-and-muffin-top#post-18486 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:29:21 +0000 Angie 18486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo the lasses. </p> <p>Welcome back Sarah! We missed you. Have you found another apartment yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problems-with-my-bermudas-rise-height-and-muffin-top#post-18459 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:23:15 +0000 Sihaya 18459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah I agree with Shell. Sounds like you should ditch these and stick to mid or high rises. I have a muffin top and never wear low rises including for my underwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problems-with-my-bermudas-rise-height-and-muffin-top#post-18436 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:24:47 +0000 shell 18436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sounds like a higher rise might be in order. if the shorts are such high maintenance, theyre usually not worth wearing. im sure you can do better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problems-with-my-bermudas-rise-height-and-muffin-top#post-18396 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:12:33 +0000 Sarah 18396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Despite slow internet, I’m making occasional visits here. I just couldn’t keep away. Mostly, I’ve been reading, but tonight I’m just full of questions. The good news is that I will be in a new apartment with fast internet in only 15 more days. Yay!</p> <p>My final question for tonight is about my new pair of Bermudas. They are super cheep $16 casual light blue walk shorts from Wal-Mart, but I desperately needed something to wear to keep cool this summer. The first problem is that, although they fit perfectly when I bought them, they have already started to stretch out a little. That’s what I get for buying cheep denim, I guess.</p> <p>The second problem is quite a bit more annoying and complicated. They have a low rise. The “waist-band” is around my hips. Somehow, when I bought them I didn’t notice this. I was just excited that they fit (unlike the other 6 pairs I tired on). I’ve actually tried on other jeans with the “waist” this low, and they haven’t fit, because my hip-bones are too wide. I guess these were made for someone shaped like me. One problem with the low rise is simply that I’m not used to it. I keep wanting to pull my pants up, because I feel like they are falling down, even though they are not. The second problem is muffin top. I only have a slight muffin top when standing, which other people would probably never notice, but I’m paranoid about it. The real trouble comes every time I try to sit or bend over. When I sit or bend, I have to grab the pants by the “waist” and pull them up, otherwise the “waist-band” digs into my lumpy lower stomach just above the hip bone (what I call my “fat spot). If I don’t yank them up when ever I set or bend, not only does it cause nasty looking fat rolls to show—major muffin top—but it is also painful. The odd thing is that once I do pull them up, I have enough room to stick my hand between me and the pants. So I don’t think I’m too fat for them. I think this is just a bad rise height for me. Any advice? What’s the problem? Should I stick to higher rises? I’m certainly more comfortable in pants that sit about an inches bellow my belly button, instead of 2 ½ inches like these.</p> <p>Sarah M. </p>
