Pants fitting, again!
M.S. Intermediate Member since 3/6/09 Posts: 1138	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/1/12 10:33 AM Pants generally fit me great in the front, but ride down in the back. How do you know which end of the back pattern piece crotch curve to add to? Do I add at the inseam? Or, do I add at the waistband. I thought I'd ask before I just try. Hmm, maybe add at both ends & cut off the one I don't need during the fitting process. Maybe I've just answered my own question. ------ Pfaff 138-6 Brother PQ1500S Necchi 4795 US Blindstitch 718-9 Kenmore 16644 Janome CoverPro 1000 Singer 201-2

Think of your seat like your bust, some of us have more curves than others. On your pattern, slash from your center back seam at the hip line to the side seam, not cutting through on ss. Open it up, just like a dart till your back waist is in the correct position, this will not change your side seams or make your crotch sag and your pants won't do the booty dip no mo. ------ 61sew4fun

Your backside can be flat and low, also causing riding down in the back.

Gravity is rough! Just when you figure out your fitting issues, your body has to go & change. ------ Pfaff 138-6 Brother PQ1500S Necchi 4795 US Blindstitch 718-9 Kenmore 16644 Janome CoverPro 1000 Singer 201-2
