craftgrrlHi craftgrrls!
I have a funny fashion dilemma that needs a crafty touch.
With the popularity of low-rise pants, I've ended up buying some not-too-smart pants for my office. Specifically, I have pants that fit me really well except that they are too low for me to be able to tuck my shirt into them except maybe 1" of the hem.
As a result, my lower back gets really cold and sometimes I get a bit of a plumber effect... if you know what I mean. (*blush*) My girl-belly also seems to poke out of the shirts even though I’m pretty slim. It would probably look cute on a teenager, but I’m pushing 30 and I work in an office with a dress code.
I need to fix this before I loose my modesty or have to resort to wearing long cardigans over my pants. It was bearable in the summertime, but now the cold Canadian winter is coming and I can't deal any more.
So... what I was thinking is: Can I sew my button-down office shirts to my underwear (I'd make sure that they were the same colour) so that the shirts will stay tucked in? Or maybe I could put snaps on the shirt and snaps on the inside of the pants's waistband(s)?
My main concern with the first idea is that it'll give me horrible wedgies. My main concern with the second idea is that the snaps will be scratchy or/also that they'll show through like little bumps. My pants are slim fitting and the fabric is a bit thin. I don’t want it to look like I have snaps on my undies, even if I do have snaps on my undies!
Also, If I DO sew the button down shirt to the undies, then I know I can get into the contraption by unbuttoning the shirt and stepping into it like a bathing suit. However, it would probably be a drag when I have to go pee in the middle of the day. I don't think it'd teh best idea... but maybe it is.
SO.... does anyone have any ideas or tips for how I should creatively approach this dilemma? I have a half dozen shirts that are too short to tuck in, and I'd like to be able to wear them comfortably in the winter.
Oh... and before you ask: yes, I have tried wearing a long undershirt. It didn't help cause the shirts still only tuck in one inch.
