For the last few weeks (years, maybe), I've been working on pants fitting. Just saw this recently published free resource which has some great tips.
Pants Fitting Guide

Edited: I'm still working on pants fitting as well. Despite spending years and years on pants, I have yet to discover the perfect combination of pattern, fabric and fitting technique. I keep trying though! And I like to learn as much as possible.

I didn't download the guide because it requires that I "agree to receive emails from Gina Renee Designs."

I get too many emails already, so I passed on this one.

Thanks though!!

Don't know Gina Renee at all, but I did download it, and it's actually one of the better pants fitting guides I've seen, Not quite the method of diagnosis I use, but it should work well.

You can always opt out of getting emails once the first one arrives. I do this on many requests once I get my first download or article, etc.

That's true but then I seem to get a lot of unwanted, yet similar, emails from other groups/companies, etc. The original entity may stop sending stuff but that won't stop a group from passing along my contact info to another entity.

If I had absolutely no information on pants fitting, I might try it. But I have so many great fitting books already. I honestly don't have the need.

I follow her on Instagram, but I didn’t see the post that this was available. I am excited to learn more, still haven’t perfect my pants fitting, but slowly getting better.
