First off - not low rise. They only fit as low rise IF you fold the waist band over completely, meaning 1-1/2 to 2 too much rise based on standard low rise measurements. I have a short torso and low rise is the perfect fit for my frame!! Unfortunate - since they run a big, I can totally fold the waist over BUT wish I could just wear a belt and wear like normal. Ill wear these in my studio - not out anywhere cuz of the height of the rise. Pisser BUT also still comfortable, once rolled over. Please make these with an actual Low Rise rise!
