Linda G 10/22/07Very nice pants..I just looked up your "smile" problem in my Pants for Real People Book. It looks you need to scoop out the back crotch a little. They are very nice looking pants and your smile problem should not be hard to fix.

Lee-Lee 10/22/07Beautiful pants, nice bias detail on the welt pocket and good fit. I recently tried Debbie Cook's "fish-eye" dart alteration to fix backside wrinkles with good results (especially after I remembered to increase the front inseam seam allowance by the same amount as the back; I hope that makes sense.)

mikkim 10/22/07Your pants look great. Thanks for a very helpful review.

Becky 10/22/07Your pants look beautiful! I've been dealing with the same wrinkles in the back. The fisheye dart didn't work for me. Instead I took a diagonal wedge out of the CB from the crotchline up to the hipline. Pin the amount out at the fullest part of your behind blending to 0 at the side seams. Check to see how it looks. If it looks good transfer it to your pattern and it should work on your next pair. This is a fitting tip I used suggested by Peggy Sagers in her fitting video.

Ingiepops 10/23/07Great-looking pants! I agree with Becky's advice as the wrinkles are diagonal not horizontal so a fish-eye dart might not work.

Sigrid 10/23/07Ladies, thanks for your comments on the fit. I will certainly try to make it better on my next pair.

Annette1 10/24/07These fit so well, I assumed they were made from a Burda pattern until I read that the pattern is from Patrones Magazine. You achieved a great fit with these. I love that welt pocket detail too!

Leslie in NZ 11/6/07Sigrid, this was a very helpful review. Thank you for making such an effort to show us your process.
* * *
Irina 11/6/07Your details about the pattern changes are extremely helpful. The revised back looks much better.
* * *
GinaSews 11/6/07Love your changes!

LauraLo 11/7/07Great pants, Sigrid, all that work was definitely worth it. And what a fabulous comprehensive review, thanks for it!

Annette1 11/11/07Now, these are PERFECT, really. If I hear one word about wrinkles or anything else, I may be making a surprise visit to the Netherlands. :o)
