Quick answer
The ELLIE Bottoms work well for small frames thanks to their medium coverage and ribbed fabric that stays in place. Focus on getting the right size to avoid gapping at the waist or digging in at the hips.
Why the ELLIE Bottoms work for small frames
The ribbed material provides a bit of stretch and grip, so the bottoms stay put even if you have a smaller waist-to-hip ratio. The back seam also prevents the awkward scrunching that can happen with looser fits.
Double lining adds structure without bulk, which is helpful when you don't have extra curves to fill out the fabric. Just note that the medium coverage means they sit lower on the hips than a high-waisted style.
How to fit ELLIE Bottoms on a small frame
- Measure your hips and waist: Use a soft tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist and the widest part of your hips. Compare these numbers to the size chart. If you're between sizes, size down for a snugger fit since the ribbed material has some give.
- Check the rise: The ELLIE Bottoms are medium coverage, which means they sit below the natural waist. Try them on and check that the waistband lies flat without rolling down. If the waistband digs in, you may need a size up. If it gaps, size down or consider a high-waisted alternative.
- Test the back seam: Bend, sit, and walk in the bottoms. The back seam should stay centered and not shift. If it twists, the fit may be too loose. A twisted seam often means the bottoms are too large around your hips.
