When I wear a higher rise than that, I get a weird bulge from the button and zipper. chelle on "Where does your waistband hit?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-does-your-waistband-hit#post-193193 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:21:45 +0000 chelle 193193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very enlightening! Thanks for responding. I kind of thought I was odd to want mind sitting just an inch under my belly button but that seems to be the consensus. I guess it also fits your guidelines, Angie, of wearing the waistband somewhere between navel and hip bone.

For skirts, I like them to sit on the waist, though that usually doesn't happen.

I'm guessing 9-9.5"?

But I don't actually own any that come up that far. I guess it would be an 11 or 12 inch rise. chelle on "Where does your waistband hit?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-does-your-waistband-hit#post-192807 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:00:57 +0000 chelle 192807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh for pants!
