The high-rise waistband sits at or above the natural waist. About 1.5 to 2 inches above a mid-rise cut. That small difference changes the entire silhouette relationship between the top and trouser, which is why the rise measurement matters more than most people expect. Custom-drafted, the rise is built to your specific measurement.
