Wow, this video was a true revelation. I have been working on a non-stretch pair of slim/tapered jeans and simply cannot get the back thigh to fit any better. I thought I would have to ditch the whole idea and move to stretch denim and size down. But THIS is exactly what I want to try now, and I have a very good feeling that it will work! Thank you for posting this!
Brilliant,Glenda! This solution fits my shape fairly closely,so I'm going to give it a go. Showing the current RTW pants with the Princess seam (on your blog) is reassuring. :-)
I'm thinking about doing this to the back of my recent pants block, my issue is mostly hips, but I think the addition should make the rear look much better. I've actually seen other tutorials & examples of this, and the issue of grain on pants is always interesting for these kinds of additions. In my case, its because the center back panel in my draft looks a bit narrow to me, when I place the princess seam right on that grain center. I'm kinda curious about modifications if it looks a bit off in the mockup? I could always be overthinking it, but I'm hoping to figure out my game plan once that's done.
@kathleenwoods8416 - what you need to be most concerned about is that the Princess line go down the center of the back pants leg. It needs to be equally balanced from center to side seam and inseam up to just before the crotch curve begins.
@@glendasparling8896 Thanks fro responding. I was gonna get over expletive, but I think that the 'keep centered until the crotchline' rule-o-thumb is accurate given draft 2's general look. I think I can go with that into a gentle curve into the original waist dart? Or even a bit direct? Oh, that looks much better. I think I'll run a bit with that, and then while in the next draft.

I recently bought a pair of pants that has the middle seam on both front and back.
@mscashwell - yes, and I bet they fit much better than normal pants.
Brilliant demonstration and very well explained. Thank you so much.
You are most welcome. It was a fun presentation to put together.
Would you use the same method in the pants back leg. Also can you just use the back leg seam and not the front leg.
Yes, of course you can use exactly this same process for the back leg. (I do say this toward the end of the video).
Thanks...i like it
Hai mam I get real menter
