    Just in case, I am going to wear nothing but compression clothing.

    And a codpiece.

    You'll see.

    Perhaps if clamp up was italicized versus in quotes...

    I feel as though you don't know when I am serious or not. Maybe you haven't seeing the many times I refer to MFP forums as The Twilight Zone.

    maybe if elimination had been done the same way too...

    If you think jeans can do that....you should head over to the corset thread. You're the scientific proof they've been waiting for.

    I feel like those low-rise are to blame.

    Only if you were eating placenta at the time.

    Of course, it's very nutritious.

    If you thought what the jeans did to your hips was bad, wait till you see the affect your screen name has on your personality

    Wow like using a muscle every day for regular bowel movements has any effect on my personality. It might make me happier than an irritated, ignorant man trying to poorly insult me over a muscle. BRAVO

    Wow. Seems he called it. :laugh:

    Yep! :smiley:

    Actually, my hip dip changes location when fashions change. When jeans rode high and underwear was high-cut too, my hip dip was higher. When low-rise was in, my hip dip was lower. Now that my jeans are cut more towards the middle, even though my undies are low-cut, I have a double hip dip - a shallow dip halfway up and another shallow dip a bit below it. It's far from permanent, though the longer you wear a clothing item, the longer it takes for your form to fill back out to normal.

    For another example, there is a woman who was in the Guinness Book of World Records for awhile (and might still be) for having an incredibly tiny waist. She wore her corset 23 hours a day and only removed it for bathing, so even when it was off, she still held the same exaggerated hourglass shape. On the other hand, I only wore a corset occasionally and my XS waist size post-corset only held for a couple hours before returning to my normal S.

    This isn't to say that your genetics, diet, and activity level do not have an effect. They do - usually much more, and far more permanent, of an effect.

    Still, modern research on clothing styles considered, just say no to skinny jeans. One of many examples: http://www.medicaldaily.com/fashion-victim-tight-pants-experiences-nerve-and-muscle-damage-medical-conditions-339398

    Yes, a real steel boned corset can change your shape. But it is exerting far more pressure than a pair of jeans or underwear will. And it is not moving the fat, it can actually cause the organs to shift. It's not the same thing.
    I have a hip dip. I have never worn jeans tight around my hips. I can't stand them feeling plus, because of my build, my jeans are usually too large in the waist to fit my legs.

    Your article even says skinny jeans are safe if worn property. The woman in the case study had a pair on so tight they restricted blood flow.

    This is the result of years of style changes. From short socks to long socks, leg warmers, hot shorts, low rise and high rise pants, tight tops of varying reveals, headbands even, and maybe some bracelets?
