I have to roll the front waistband of off-the-rack skirts so that the
hem hangs horizontal because of this. If I had the time, I'd hem the
skirts properly.

You know, you're the first person I've ever heard of that has that
problem, like me. I cannot buy trousers to fit, the waistband sits in
the correct place in the back half of me but I have to fold over the top
of the front of the trousers. Usually at least by the width of the
waistband, sometimes more.
Cheers,
Danielle
If there are no rivets at the waistband, take the waistband off at the
front, cut the front down the appropriate amount at the CF tapering to
nothing at the sides, and reapply the waistband. you may have to ease a
bit of excess fabric in or make pleats on each side, but fabric, being
made of threads, usually is fairly easy to ease in, (work extra fabric
into a seam so it doesn't show that there is extra fabric on one side of
the seam compared to the other).
