Because this also reduces the back crotch length I need to pin a lower back crotch to compensate. In my case I also pinch in the CB seam a bit and this makes the back of a pant look better again in my case. <br /><br />Really, I think your pants look terrific!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302200535838474186.post-15772218243405728242012-01-09T17:27:08.664-08:002012-01-09T17:27:08.664-08:00Thanks for the review of these great pants.Thanks for the review of these great pants.womens ski pantshttp://womensskipantspants.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302200535838474186.post-55093617779753935792011-08-29T10:28:22.962-07:002011-08-29T10:28:22.962-07:00smart fit alterations!

If you want to try to get rid of those wrinkles beneath the cheeks, it might help to scoop out the crotch a little. Even though you reduce total amount of fabric that way, you get a little more space where it counts.Rosesredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350934564131264621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302200535838474186.post-55648200288118943622011-06-05T08:12:11.886-07:002011-06-05T08:12:11.886-07:00I like these pants (and the stash in the backgroun...I like these pants (and the stash in the background!) It looks like a good basic piece. All the good StyleArc reviews inspired me to order from them this morning (Whatsername's Cargo Pant). Nervous about the non-multi-size pattern tho.

It's amazing how little fitting I need for my bulky body in their pants. Best CC of all for me, and I think you are good in Burda? Your pants look great on you, and as the poster above said...you will look so much better than so many in that store!!

Her patterns for the larger woman has a deeper crotch and the center back comes up higher than most, perfect for sitting down and not showing your undies.It may be worth a try!

She does go into some of the issues you speak of.<br /><br />There are webcasts for pant fitting on Dec 27 & Feb 21. <br />The Yoga Pants webcast on May 9 may also have some very good pant fitting information, not only for yoga pants. <br />Thought these might help :))Ann Made Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736679240367173915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302200535838474186.post-71495507900029478502011-05-23T15:36:21.161-07:002011-05-23T15:36:21.161-07:00Sherril you are HILARIOUS!!!

And you'll look better than 99% of the people in the grocery store. They are coming along fine. I'm especially interested in how you handle the excess ease in back of the thigh (Everybody wears their pants too long. We're used to that as being good fit.) It's a problem I have and I do hope you share your solution step by step.sdBevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631048121680395678noreply@blogger.com
