Typically my shirt rides up more than my belt though. I have two narrow belts that stay in place the best. They work best over cardis and other fitted pieces.</p> <p>My wider belts do not stay put at all and need to be adjusted pretty much over every item. I think that is because there is less space on my waist for them. This happens with both the elastic belt and a regular leather belt.</p> <p>I usually try and pull my belts down a little below my natural waist. They balance out my body better that way and also are more comfortable, with less riding up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-need-some-help-with-belts#post-170643 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 03:01:39 +0000 Tanya 170643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I am very long waisted, and my belts do move around a bit. I usually have to readjust them a couple of times a day. So I would say it is a common thing. But mine fall down, opposite from you . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-need-some-help-with-belts#post-170642 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 02:59:14 +0000 Maya 170642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit that even though I am making peace with belts, they are still not 100% comfortable for me. I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong or if it is just not meant to be. I just can't seem to get them to stay at my waist. They always creep up on me and end up around my ribcage, which is very uncomfortable. I suspect if I had a longer waist, that wouldn't happen. If you are not short-waisted, do your belts ever come around your ribcage? </p> <p>It bothers me for three reasons: 1) It's painful to constantly have the belt rubbing against my boney ribs, 2) the belt is sitting up too high and not around where I am smallest, so I look bigger and even more short waisted than I really am, and 3) as the belt rides up, it rumples up my shirt or dress.</p> <p>Is it a size thing, and if so, is it because the belt is too big or too small? I am guessing small because a belt that was too big would slide DOWN, not ride up. My H&amp;M and UO belts both do this, while the one Angie gave me with the flower does not. I wonder if it might have to do with stretchy belts vs. non-stretchy belts. It's something that happens over time, so trying a size bigger on in a store won't really answer the question. I'd have to try it out for at least a few hours. </p>
