Pant Alteration

I need some general advice. When my daughter wears RTW pants, the butt part rides too low and she's always showing plumber's butt. It bothers me (from an aesthetic point of view-- wow that was kind of punny), and it bothers her from a comfort point of view in that she constantly pulls them up in back. But if we pull up too high, a) it puts pressure on tender girly parts and b) never stays anyway.


I think this is b/c many pants in RTW are skinny pants.


However, even my O& S pants ride too low in the back, although not as bad. Her rise must be really long. With my O & S patterns the lack of rise is more noticeable as a lack of "ease" when she bends.


So, does anyone have a suggestion of how to lengthen the rise/give more in the seat in such a way that it doesn't obstruct the pattern? It does not ride too low in the front.


I have the after school, and the sail boat.


Thanks for whatever advice! :)
