Thank you for talking big butts! I'm new to sewing and I just made my first pair of shorts that needed 4 inches of rise added to the back. I was unaware that the pattern was for a flat butt! Now I'm examining my readymade shorts with a ruler and seeing what the crotch depth should look like for my shape.

Amazing! I have a 13-14" difference between my waist and hip (and a low butt). Does it make sense to use the slash-and-slide method you showed but without adding the width back on the outer seam? I'm trying to make a pair of high-waisted trousers but after increasing the darts enough to fit my waist, I still end up with too much fabric around the small of my back. I have ended up with drag lines that start at the top of my butt (near the center seam) and go up at 45 degree angle towards the top of my pocket openings.

I still consider the measurement of the upper thigh when I'm trying to decide how to make more room for a prominent behind. The good news is that because you're starting with a single leg muslin, you can add extra seam allowance to the inseam and side seam. This allows you to decide if you need to let out the crotch points to make more room... or let out the side seams (or both). Check out this video showing how prepare your pattern pieces after you trace your size. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4u4pJWkpal2l68 Hope this helps! Thanks for fitting along with me

Thanks a lot! That slide you did is a new method to me that I need to try. But it didn't address other problems I have with pants. I'm curvy and petite and usually choose my hip size to decide my pattern size. I end up with a lot of fabric on my stomach area, my front crotch seam is almost 2 in longer than my true front waistline and my back seam is 2 in shorter. When I try to adjust that, my front and back waistline would end up in a very weired angle and I don't know how to smooth it out. I don't even know what this problem is called so I can look for solutions. My problem isn't that the pants are tight but my back waistline is way lower and my front is way higher.

Happy this helped! To fix your too long front crotch you can shorten it and raise the curve. Here's a tutorial for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJrRinhmhNyHrcU To lengthen the back crotch, you would do the same slash in the back... but spread the pattern instead of overlap. You can also add to the crotch wedge... Here's a tutorial for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3rLf5Zqj9OYhK8 Thanks for fitting along with me!

That's a great question. Get in front of your two mirror set up so you can see the back view. Pinch the CB seam until the wrinkles under your butt start to smooth. 1/2 the total amount you pinched is a good guide to how much to shift the pattern over. Start by shifting is slightly less than you pinched... you can always sew along the CB seam deeper and let out the side seam if you need to move it a little more in your fit muslin. When it comes to transferring adjustments from your fit muslin to your paper pattern pieces. My advice is to transfer adjustments as you make them and confirm that they are working. If you wait till the end of the fitting process, it can get a little hairy to keep track of everything! Hope this helps! Thanks for fitting along with me

@JSternDesigns
@JSternDesigns Ай бұрын
Without seeing what's going on... if you have tight stress lines pointing from the crotch front and back, It may be that you need more crotch extension.. Or it could be that the rise is too short and it's pulling vertically. The easiest thing to do to figure that out is to pull the waistline down a little bit to see if the wrinkles relax... If they don't... then try making more depth as shown here! Hope this helps, thanks for watching

Oh this was really really interesting. I think I have a prominent but not necessarily full butt so I have a problem with dresses in that they’re not pulling but my back hemline lifts about two inches. This is frustrating. When I’ve tried to adapt by adding a wedge to the back seam it chews the pattern perhaps because of the amount? So I’m adding to the hem which solves the problem but probably isn’t right. Would welcome your views or if you have a video, please point me in that direction.

:) Another thing you can try is to angle the CB seam a little farther away from CB... This gives you more room inside. Also, Have you tried working with a single leg muslin and separate pants fitting waistband? After working with Ruth & TDCO, I've added these elements to my pants fitting process combined with body specific adjustments & adding fit allowances to the inseam as well as above the waistline and side seam. I did a troubleshooting pants fitting series that shows how to picks starting size, pattern prep, cutting and sewing the fit muslin. Here's a link to part 1 of this if you'd like to check it out!

Thank you so much for this video. I have a wide-leg pant that is too tight in the crotch. I am not sure if the issue is the need for a taller waistband or increasing the space as you have done in this video. Do you have any tips for knowing which it is? I do feel like I have to keep pulling the pants down to stop the tugging in the crotch so perhaps it is a longer waistband, or increasing the length above the hip.
@JSternDesigns
@JSternDesigns Жыл бұрын
My Pleasure!! If you can feel the problem in the crotch area, then it's most likely you need more room "front to back" vs adding to the rise at the waistline. If you have enough room on your upper thigh, you can't extend the crotch points to make more room because the leg will become too baggy... So, scoop the back of the back crotch curve by sliding over toward the side seam as shown in this video. This will lengthen the crotch extension from the inside. If you scoop, you will need to let out the side seam at the full hip level. If you slash and slide the top of the leg over, you will need to true up the side seam below the adjustment. Hope this helps! Thanks for fitting along with me

@JSternDesigns
@JSternDesigns Жыл бұрын
That's a great question!! I consider the full hip measurement first to pick the starting size. If you're waist and upper thighs/legs are smaller or larger, you can pick a bigger or smaller size for the CF/CB Inseam ... best of both worlds.. ps, I first heard about picking multiple sizes instead of blending between sizes on the same line from Ruth Collins and TDCO.

For a waist to full hip difference of 18 inches, you can angle the CB seam toward the side seam, trimming off some of the excess at the waist measurement...

I would pinch up the excess length at the base of the crotch to see if it smooths the wrinkles. If it doesn't, they it may be that you need to change the shape of the curve. If you have loose vertical wrinkles scoop more to pull out some of the excess fabric. If you have tight horizontal wrinkles, reduce the scoop by sewing a little closer to the raw edges to relax the fabric. Let me know if this makes sense! Thanks for fitting along with me!

That's a great question! Usually when you do adjustments they are "doubled" when you cut out the pattern piece on a folded piece of fabric to get a left and right leg. When you're adjusting the crotch points... the benefit of that adjustment is the whole amount of the adjustment. So if you extend the crotch point 1/2"... The left leg will get 1/2" and the right leg will get 1/2 to wrap around the leg... It's not combined or doubled like adding to a side seam. Hope that helps! Thanks for following along with me!

How does the slope of the back rise relate to a prominent vs flat butt?

What about a prominent low butt where the curve goes below the crotch line and also requires more space at the hip line? Thanks Jenn.

You can do this adjustment for a low butt too (the crotch curve will just be lower).

Hi, your tutorial is brilliant- thank you! Could you tell me how i know what sort of behind I have whenlooking sideways in the mirror? I think i must have a prominent butt - i have full buttocks. Thank you!

When you're trying to figure out what shape you have... start by noticing where the fullest part of your behind is (between you waistline and crotch level. If it's closer to the waist you have a high round behind, if it's in the middle you have an average behind, If it's at or lower than crotch level you have a low behind. Then look at the shape of the curve. If you do not have a prominent curve, you have a flat butt. If you have a prominent curve, you have a prominent butt... Consider both the vertical and horizontal dimensions to identify the shape of you butt. For example you could have a low prominent butt or a high prominent butt or an average prominent butt! Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for replying. I've never gazed at the shape of my butt in the mirror before! I think it must be average as I can't tell whether the fullest part is nearer my waist or my crotch. Definitely prominent! It's a pretty even curve all around. I'm changing my mind now and thinking maybe it's a low behind. The shorts I made were pulling in a little nearer the crotch so I'm now looking at the pattern pieces before cutting out a second pair. Thank you SO much for the very clear guidance. Excited to be making adjustments! I have a commercial culottes pattern. Is there a good way to check whether the butt shape will fit me? I could compare it to my adjusted shorts around the crotch? Thank you!

What to do if thigh measures 25" when standing and 27" when sitting?

That's a great question! If you're working with non-stretch fabric, go with the 27" measurement. If you're working with stretch fabric, ... split the difference and use 26" :)

Can you measure your crotch length by measuring the front and back areas while sitting much like measuring the crotch depth? Sitting here I can look down on the front of my crotch , and then put my hand to the back where my butt hits the chair sitting up straight. I wonder if that would be a good way to measure the crotch "width" for someone with a prominent butt?

That's a great questions! I got my tape measure out and I measured my crotch length standing... Then I sat down and measured again. ...I got the opposite result that I thought I was going to get. My measurement actually got shorter by 3/4"... and I think the part that "shortened" was the part I was sitting on. (probably because flesh spreads when you sit). So, I think the best thing to do is to put a fit elastic around you so it's positioned at crotch level (where you curve inward front and back)... The elastic might not be parallel to the floor because your curves might not agree vertically. Then measure from the elastic in the front to back... while standing up! Let me know if this helps.
