long-waisted
Low-set waist position
Long-waisted describes a body type or garment with a longer-than-average distance between shoulders and waist.
A long-waisted person has a proportionally longer torso and shorter legs: She's long-waisted, so high-rise jeans look best on her.
In clothing, long-waisted styles accommodate this body type or create the visual effect of an elongated torso.
