KS: Good Bless Low-Rise Jeans

Katrina / Notes On A Napkin : Maybe it’s the way I’m shaped (square), but before low-rise jeans came along, I was a woman-without-country in the denim department.  The horrible jeans of the 80’s (designed by Gloria Vanderbilt and her ilk) assumed that everyone had curvy hips and tiny, nipped-in waists, a shape still celebrated in the present-day construction of Mom Jeans.  (And let’s face it–Mom Jeans are just 80’s jeans that have morphed a bit to accommodate the ..ahem.. blossoming post-partum form.)  The fact is, some of us don’t have tiny, nipped-in waists, no matter what we weigh.  In that dark time, we had to choose between wearing trousers that fit in the waist but flapped around the hips like a pair of mountie pants, or jeans that fit the hips but pinched the body nearly in half at the waist, leaving button and zipper impressions so deep they could be cast in plaster.
