You can completely refresh your style this way without going shopping. I hope that this post gave you some ideas for creating a chic-casual wardrobe using pieces you already own!
Email me at [email protected]! Hi Wendy! Thanks so much for the question. So glad you found this helpful! You might want to measure your rise and determine the best fit that way. For example, I find that a rise that hits just at my belly button works well to hold in a stomach bulge without creating that awkward V that I am also familiar with. I find that high rise underwear that comes just below the bra band in a light to medium hold is amazing.
The Higher Power from Spanx is wonderful for this. I also like a shaping cami tucked into the pants under the top. It keeps those side rolls away and is comfortable. It also creates a nice line under the top. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi Nada, Thx for this information! I would wear them thinking they help suck in extra rolls on the back side…. Comments Hi Wendy! Mardel- If you're tall, where the garment manufacturers expect the waist to be will not be where yours is. You may have a very long rise the proportion from where the leg bends at the hip to your waist. Line — yes a longer waist can be easier to dress though if it's really long, not so , but the long waisted people normally have short legs, so they may not agree!
Anon — if you're tall, the proportions of clothes will be out for you as they are made for an 'average' height woman, not for a tall woman. Your piano teacher is probably also looking at he spread of your fingers too and if your fingers are a little shorter they won't reach as far.
Anon — when we put on weight we can change our body shape — if you have a small distance between ribs and pelvis, you will lose your waist more quickly than if you have a longer waist.
Being petite means that when you put on weight there is less for it to spread over so you will look more compact more quickly. By the sounds of your measurements I'd be looking at dressing you as an H — if you want, email me a photo via my bespoke Image website of you in a pair of well fitting jeans and t-shirt and I'll have a look — send front side and back views.
Yes please do a post on short waisted, big busted bodies. It is so frustrating to see everyone belted need a new look — just add a belt! My natural waist is about the same "hand width" away from my bust as yours. No surprise there — I'm definitely short waisted.
It's an imbalance that's hard to disguise and not very aesthetically pleasing to my eye, but it is what it is. Just as I suspected; I'm a tall girl with a long waist.
Waists on dresses and blouses usually fall a good 6 inches too high on me and I can never, ever find t-shirts that are long enough to cover my tum… especially since I put on a heap of weight and much of it went to my belly. Interesting — I have exactly two hand widths, so I am in proportion — I always thought I was short-waisted, but I guess I'm just short! Just the opposite of your other commenter who said she's not long-waisted, just tall!! Keep the great blog posts coming — I love the self-analysis!
Imogen, this becomes real interesting. No wonder that very wide belts feel uncomfortable to wear, and that I like to wear tops that are quite open in the front no polos.
Now am I on the right track? Chris — check out my existing posts on Large Bust — they will give you lots of ideas. Kari — you need to keep your tops longer or layered a long rise can be hard to disguise.
Skirts are a great option and way more flattering than pants for a long rise. Imogen, You have the most amazing fashion, style bog there is ever!
The stuff you put on here for us to figure out!! Love it! Thanks so much! S — yes you can wear a wide belt if you have a longer waist and a shaped waist ideally too. I already knew that I was short-waisted, but this really confirms it—my waist is about one-and-a-third hands below my bust!
This would explain why I've never worn a belted or tucked-in look successfully…. Thank you! A way to tell for sure what waisted I am which is on the short side, something I always suspected. According to your test, I'm short-waisted. I also bought a used copy of "The Triumph of Individual Style" and determined my length proportions by following the instructions on page According to that book, my head is long, I'm short-waisted, my rise is long, and my legs are short.
I pretty much knew that anyway, but the test confirmed it. Now I know why I look better if I wear a hairstyle with bangs. I have a question. I have a short waist apparently and am a pear shape i think. My chest is 70D 32D in US terms i think. I do have thunderthighs and a huge butt though. They are bigger than my hips. How would I dress in a flattering manner?
I find being short waisted effects my clothing and bra fit tremendously. I love your tips and hints on short waists. Please keep them coming. Based on this, my waist is short, as it takes a hand and until my index or middle finger of my other hand to reach the narrowest part of my waist. All bodies are beautiful no matter the proportions, but if you want to alter a proportion visually, there are style tips and tricks to make a short waist look longer and a long waist look shorter.
What to do, what to do. Any advice appreciated!! Hi Gail, It sounds like you are short waisted which means your waist is relatively high. Often short waisted people have longer legs in proportion but seems you probably have average or shorter legs which is why the alternate way of measuring showed a different outcome. I prefer and use the first measurement with clients but I know some really like the alternative way to measure so I included it in my post.
Every body is beautiful and different so these measurements generally are fairly accurate, but sometimes have to be adjusted. Take these measurements to see if one is shorter than the other.
