...hang in here with me folks! I hope you are willing to help see me through my "I want it all" pants fitting series. I'm being a bit greedy with this because I want to be able to have pants of all types.
I will be working with my TNT pattern that I mentioned yesterday. But today I made a decision to work with Vogue 9032- view c the flare leg design.
I've read all of the reviews that I could find on this pattern, and what attracted me to it other than the flare leg, were the slant pockets and the princess seamed back. I've never worked with a two piece back pants pattern before but thought it would give me more options to tailor my fit.
Well, here's the first muslin for Vogue 9032. (Remember I said I am willing to make as many muslins as necessary in this pants fitting session). Seriously, I am pretty happy with muslin #1, it's a real rough draft of a muslin. This muslin was made over a week ago and I've lost count of the number of times I've tried it on thus far.
My critique: I need to make an adjustment in the slant pocket area that I don't think will be too hard to manage. I'm not sure if I should try to address the bit of bagginess in the knee area, of if this would work it's self out when made in real fabric; I'll have to think about that a little more. I increased the center back rise one full inch which feels quite comfortable now.
I've included this video from one of
Andrea Davis' F
it Friday classes to my pant's fitting resources. She gives regular pattern fitting classes via YouTube and other internet platforms. I attended this class and thought it would be interesting and helpful to my readers as well....
