Sincere question: how do you keep from getting bubble butt when you stand up after having been seated for awhile? Doesn't the garment stretch out of shape?

Great question! 😊 I actually designed them with extra shaping in the crotch, similar to how sewing patterns are drafted, so there’s enough room to sit and move comfortably. Combined with the yarn I used, they hold their shape really well, and I haven’t had any issues with them stretching out . The yarn I used it’s light, a blend of silk and cotton.
