    Waist measurement too high up to count?
    i didn't know where to ask this btw, I know it's not quite fitness. /:

    Anyway I have a super-high waist (i think?). If i bend to the side the crease is like just an inch under where my bra strap goes. Is that too high to count as my official measurement? It's like only halfway down my ribs. Is that weird? :confused:

    Please halp.
    I feel it's cheating bcuz it's like 2 inches smaller than where normal waists are but this is just where mine seems to be. Which should I count it as.

    Is the top of your pelvis just under your bra strap?

    Your waist is the thinnest part of your abdomen, so it doesn't matter how high or low it is, it just has to be the smallest part
