    I have "snake hips"... as MacMillan of Rathdown says.

    There seems to be a soft area between the top of my pelvis bones, and the bottome of my rib cage; not counting those short ribs in the back. That is where my top kilt buckles sit. Those happen to be off the peg kilts. They fit alright, then even better after I added a stabilizer that spread the tinsion out across the area where a belt is worn.

    Most of the low cut trousers and pants don't fit me and tend to slide down unless they are uncomfortably tight in their waistband which sits on my pelvis bones. On the other hand my dress trousers and suit trousers are all high-waisted and fit just as well as a kilt because their waistbands sit above the top of my pelvis bones. No need for braces with the kilt or the high-waisted trousers.

    Just thought I'd weigh in with the snake hip point of view...

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
