adrift

are there any #sewists here who primarily sew for men? i'm trying to find some tips on shortening the front rise for a #swayback + belly.

i've found lots of tips both online and in print for bringing the waist *up* (an alteration mostly aimed at women), but precious little on lowering the waist so that it passes under the belly.
