I don't have a sway back but I do have a fairly flat bottom. In all the trousers in the picture, there is simply too much material in the back body part of the trousers. And it ends up pooling at the small of the back (in the same place where sway back wrinkles would be).

For those of us who do have a sway back, this is when your back curves in to the waist a little more than normal and gives the opposite visual effect than a flat-butt; effectively your behind appears to jut out further than normal. I say appears, because it only looks that way in relation to where your waist is sitting. This results in "normal" jeans, pants and dresses standing out away from your waist, instead of following the natural curve of your back. For me, fortunately, it is only a slight one.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-25832478891390622222011-06-17T02:39:34.331+02:002011-06-17T02:39:34.331+02:00I was hoping that someone would ask you that quest...I was hoping that someone would ask you that question and you would answer!

I just pulled the back of the pants up and eliminated the excess fabric below the waistband. This eliminated the horizontal fold at the waist and the sagging below the butt.<br />Thanks again for your answer! :-)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654621122765743687noreply@blogger.com
