Having her wings just above her hips would not improve flight. As i mentioned they have no control surfaces to alter their pitch and would end up tumbling without control. So they would fly with a more vertical posture untill they pick up speed with the wings higher as mentioned.

Plus the human body is not adapted for flight in the first place. and the centre of gravity would raise further up the body from the weight of the wings and extra musculature required to power them.

But by having the wings higher up you gain more control at lower and higher speeds.
