When I was in my twenties, I figured it out & I had to alter the proportion of the side of the pants so that more fabric belonged to the front than the back! I was small & narrow with hips not much different from waist & no "side saddle" bulges. Now I'm older I am very "apple-shaped" from the side (tummy sticks out & bum is virtually invisible!); but still slightly "hourglass" from the front or rear. I'll have to really massacre a pattern that fits my hips, I think, because if I start with the pattern that fits my waist size there is no part of me the rest of it would even touch- hips 90cm, waist 82cm, thighs pretty narrow. Plus I am only 149cm tall with relatively long legs & short waist! It will be a challenge & I must study your points plus watch some videos! Thanks for persisting with pants yourself & showing me it's possible!Murfomurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975382358013125434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-80445538368351534222012-10-03T09:47:49.123-07:002012-10-03T09:47:49.123-07:00I just printed your list for pants fitting, becaus...I just printed your list for pants fitting, because I am going to refer to it as I continue my own pants fitting journey.

I kept waiting for her to address lenthening the back crotch seam and it took until the discussion of grainline for me to see how she'd answer the question. All the examples were of shortening and anyone with a dropped derriere needs the opposite - hence scooping which is in essence the same as adding a dart of length as opposed to eliminating a dart of length. The grainline discussion showed why it might be added to the waist as she'd alluded to in the second video I think. Something to try. I'm all for anything that makes it easier. Thanks for the links.

I'll have to take a look at that approach the next time I am fitting pants. <br /><br />Totally unrelated to pants, I think of my mother every time I visit your blog! She enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell's books, and when she was in her last weeks, I read that book to her, especially in the hospital, when we had long hours with little to do. It's a good memory. :-)Andreahttp://satinbirddesigns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-57939369207064886582012-09-22T18:50:38.683-07:002012-09-22T18:50:38.683-07:00I too just started watching her pants webcasts and...I too just started watching her pants webcasts and think that I may have a good fitting pair in my repertoire as well.
