i've been looking at the AV black pants with the leather band. how high does AV pants come up on your waist? i'm a little concerned that the bottom of the leather part would hit at an unflattering place on my behind.
have you ever tried that style?
eta: here's a pic. these are the jeans. but you get the idea...
AV pants are low rise...I can't quite tell with that pic, but I think there are two hook and eye closures at the waistband. If so, they're the same cut as the pants I own.
They hit me maybe two or three fingers below the bellybuttom. They are kinda low. HTH!
