I guess my adjustments to shop trousers would be: reduce back waist, raise waist, more upper thigh room.

I have only made knit pull on pants and some deep crotched culottes previously so I haven't ventured into proper pants fitting. The only other fitted pants I'd made were a vintage 70's wide leg pattern and they also happened to fit perfectly. I don't think there's anything super special about my body, I just seem to sometimes be sewing under a lucky star. Like I said, feel free to scoff! I'll be laughing too when I crash and burn on my next projectLightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-81237587917763915302018-11-14T22:24:04.384+11:002018-11-14T22:24:04.384+11:00Thanks Eleanor.

Now this is the way pants should fit. This is my goal, still, after 30 years of trying. I almost get there, then my dang waist increases, which affects the fit everywhere else.<br /><br />You wrote that you didn't have to make any adjustments. May I ask what your usual adjustments would be for pants other than these? Or maybe you just have "the perfect body".glormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864222002627736492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-67210464840122922642018-11-14T09:31:40.189+11:002018-11-14T09:31:40.189+11:00Lovely ensemble and great fit on the pants!
