Pants Fitting Help please! Style Arc Linda pants
wenznz   Advanced Beginner NEW ZEALAND Member since 7/8/11 Posts: 233	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/16/12 10:35 PM I have made the Style Arc Linda pants, and while I'm reasonably happy with them, there is something hinky going on with the front crotch seam. Pants 1 Pants2 Pants3 Pants4 - though this could be how I'm posing?! At the moment, the only change I have made is to add 1cm to the CF seam going straight down to where it meets the crotch curve. I am not sure if this issue is from the added width or quite how to fix it so they fit better. Any ideas from the pants fitting doyennes of PR? -- Edited on 4/17/12 0:58 AM -- ------ Wendy Wellington, New Zealand

Unzip a bit and drop the pants until those smiles disappear and note the amount you've lowered your pants. You need to take better pictures of your garments if you want good advice. Preferably not in a mirror. You need 4 pictures, straight on front straight on for each side and straight on back. If you don't have anyone to take your picture use your self timer on a tripod or even on a table. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

Before I got my tripod I set my camera up on the ironing board with stacks of books as well to get just the right height. HTHs. ------ http://lasewist.blogspot.com/

Length would be the length of the crotch from cf waist through the legs to the back waist. the depth is measured vertically from waist to crotch. However if you lower the crotch you are also lengthening the crotch. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

If Nancy's fix doesn't work, give this a try.
