The trick is to leave the back seam until almost last then pin fit and sew right up through the waistband before finishing the band. Try it on some cheap fabric first to see the how the parts are done and the order. Good luck.Sew Much Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114228520093430028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85034379040667530.post-60788959274137468002014-11-13T08:30:22.829+00:002014-11-13T08:30:22.829+00:00A good pair of trousers should 'hide' a tu...A good pair of trousers should 'hide' a tummy. Have a look at the Patti Palmer book 'Pants for real people'. This covers trousers for every shape and is a trouser bible MUST HAVE.

Probably a combination of strange curves to take into account, the hassle of making a full muslin (rather than just a quick bodice for a dress) and the sadness of wearing poorly fitted pants.<br /><br />These are GREAT though, they make me wish I could get away with this sort of pant - unfortunately I have a full lower belly and, even with the pocket stays, I have the feeling these would look terrible. They'd also look great with a fitted blouse/singlet top if you wanted to show off your arms, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85034379040667530.post-66380705675518914122014-10-22T12:07:05.956+01:002014-10-22T12:07:05.956+01:00Hi Rachel, thanks for stopping by.

I know the blog you refer to, it's Joyful Expressions and Joy and her friend Philly demonstrate a bendy curved ruler that is supposed to be your exact pants curve, it's hilarious to watch!! They have so much fun but I'm not convinced it's the best solution.Sew Much Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114228520093430028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85034379040667530.post-13933727558282576462014-10-22T10:18:02.054+01:002014-10-22T10:18:02.054+01:00I would say your trousers look great.

Someone told me last night there is a great video of two mature ladies teaching how to measure and adjust trousers on a youtube video but I never seen. Im dying to see because apparently they call crotch curve fish bow. I let you know if I find it.
