Tilting the prims upwards may help, as would making the prims less flexi. That or a smaller butt  . |

Glitch pants

Most designers make glitch pants to be worn with a flexi skirt. This allows the skirt/pants combo to create the illusion of a soft fabric skirt that molds to one's derriere before draping along the legs. Glitch pants have the same texture as the skirt and are done at the pants or jacket levels (lower jacket, upper jacket texture would use a full alpha channel texture).

I always use glitch pants for my skirts, and I usually tilt the entire skirt (not just the prims on the back) slightly forwards and reposition the skirt after that. I find that looks a bit more natural than a completely straight hanging skirt anyway. Don't tilt it too much though, that way it just looks like you have a really big butt and a skirt that is a few sizes too small!

I've seen shapes that had two options ... one of them had a smaller butt so it would look better in a prim skirt.

speaking of skirts, is there any way to make the slider textures skirt (non prim) not stick out from the AV...
I seem to always have a gap around the waist no matter what size the avatar is
all other clothing seems to fit to the skin except the skirt... strange

The default (non-prim) skirt seems to have been a bad compromise: it has the gap you describe on female avatars and does not have that gap on larger male avatars. It makes for smooth coats for men when utilizing a skirted bottom. It is an exception to the general Rule for Avatars (trademark pending  ) that female avatars are rendered better or more easily made realistic; in the case of skirts, the men got the better deal.
On the other hand, all the sliders and shading in the world won't change the fact that a male avatar's nipples can't be anatomically correctly positioned; they must cope with having theirs where ours are in the UV world. And do not forget that they can only be "complete" with an attachment.

ah did not know about that with the skirt bottom on men and yeah that was what I was trying to do on a female avatar, make a long t-shirt using the jacket layer with the skirt as the bottom part, but the gap messes it up  and the jacket on the top and pants layer makes the jacket conform to the shape of the front and back of the avatar... screwy
