rollin with it! i have this really cool vintage silk striped oscar de la renta skirt which i’ve barely ever worn cuz the waistband is tiny and it’s way too long for me. i just tried it on with the rolled waistband and some fun blue suede sperry topsiders i scored on poshmark and it’s reborn! 🩷i’ll post a pic on notes
I’m trying your rolled skirt tip and I notice I would normally place the waistband at the smallest part of my waist, which is actually higher than where you place it I imagine to create a longer torso. Just a detail I thought was interesting and other people probably wonder about :)
Either works! Naturally, if you’re folding a waistband over, it’ll sit a bit lower. With a drawstring, you can control where it hits more—like the yellow maxi skirt, which is sitting higher because I cinched it tighter :)
Hi! I’m so glad! Tuck when you want to define your waist or balance volume (like w a wide leg pant) or skip when you want it to feel more relaxed or undone. Try a half tuck in the front which gives shape without shortening your torso!

These tips are so helpful, thank you!! I’d be curious to hear your advice for how/when to tuck (or not tuck) a shirt

Thank you!
I roll my waistband pretty often as I am 5.1 and sometimes I surprise myself with the shapes I create. Great piece, I love what you do here
Right!? It’s underrated. Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰
Came for the waist roll aha, stayed for the primer on when and why to cuff a pant. Bookmarking this -- and going out to lunch with the author, too! XX
