mesh distorts when I move arm

[estuary24]

I have binded the skeleton to the skin and I painted weights. I don't understand why when I move the arm joint it is moving her hip where her pelvis is. I painted weights on the arm to only influence the arm. I think this might be because the mesh has some lamina faces so this might be the reason. I attached pictures to show what is happening. I attached pictures to show what is happening. I also will add that when I move her leg, her hip also distorts; it pushes out which is so weird I don't have painted influences on her hip.

Hi @estuary24

It might be due to how the weights are painted on the mesh.

When you get a chance, can you please attach an image of your model with the painted weights?

Let me know if anything changes!

I figured it out. This is because the weights for my torso were uneven in some places
