I have made countless pairs of pants with varying changes to the patterns but never really understood how to correct for the big bottom problem. Much appreciated!

Maybe you know someone who is? These calculations would come from your own figure, then translated to the paper. Another generalization I can make in choosing a pattern is that someone with a shapely rear cannot make a pant without a dart and expect it to fit well. The flattest rear needs no dart, but the fuller the bum, the larger the darts must be to fit around that curve. Choosing your base pattern in this way will help ensure less trouble down the road.Laura Nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206589280435587634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080506198443103105.post-28107597976907573022015-11-20T15:29:39.267-08:002015-11-20T15:29:39.267-08:00Common problem simply explained and illustrated. ...Common problem simply explained and illustrated.

If I start with ...Thank you for the flat rear tip. If I start with a standard pattern, is there a formula to determine how much less cerve and length is required, or is it just trial and error?<br />Pants fitting is a big challenge for me but a challenge I would like to master. This area is where I have the most frustration.<br /> Just started reading your blog and find it very informational.<br />Thank you!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867676100562376297noreply@blogger.com
