Look when I was 15 & had no fat on my belly the only thing available was uncomfortably high waists that hung off me but fine, I sized down.

Now I'm 32 & the only waistlines available seem MALICIOUSLY DESIGNED to sit directly beneath my squishy parts & cut into me?

& if I want a high waistline I need to have ... no muscle? On my legs? At all? So that I can fit ONE LEG maybe all the way down a pair?
Like I have genuinely switched to tights & dresses IN SELF-DEFENCE from this aberration in jeans, my ertswhile staple sartorial crop.
