The Whole Scoop - Multi-Method Pants Fitting - Is Your Crotch Curve Too Low???

This week on Fit Tip Tuesday I'm exploring ways to deal with a crotch curve that's too low. This is a common issue if you're drape fitting your pants pattern to a separate non-stretch fitting waistband. I have found that after adjusting the waistline to smooth the wrinkles, the crotch may be hovering a little too low... Especially in the front. You may be able to pull it up at the waistline or by pleating out the excess at the full hip. If you tried this and it causes new unwanted wrinkles... I've got the fix for you! #The_Whole_Scoop
