Hi @Despos
I have asked about similar issues in the past, but what are the alteration options to reduce the seat, hips, upper thigh size on a pair of trousers for someone blessed with narrow hips and a flat seat.
I tend to be be between sizes because a size 34 will fit around the seat but be too tight across the front and often through the crotch too (as well as the waist which can be altered). Size 36 is better generally but normally too loose at the seat and below, and often with a jodhpur look.
If just a small change is needed, I ask for the seat seam to be taken in, or more often for the back part to be taken in on each side along the outseams from waist band down to a few inches below the crotch.
However, sometimes a bigger change is needed. In these circumstances, is it feasible to open the fork and then take fabric in along the seat seam, the crotch and the upper inseams as a single alteration, thereby reducing the size of the back from waist to somewhere above the knee?
If so, can this be done on its own, or does it need an adjustment to the outseam to balance the alteration? Are there any other ways to make the change needed?
Hello,i`m happy with the results about fitting because in the past i had a lot of fitting issues because of the balance and the shape of my back. Usually the back of the jacket was looking awful, also the backside of the sleeves. The pattern was designed for normal pockets, after i cut it, i decided to make the jacket with patch pockets. In order to cover the pockets cut, i placed the pockets too high, but i will find a solution.About the lapel, i realised too late but the jacket it s for myself and it s just for practicing to learn as much as i can.
Thank you a lot for your adcvices. Afew months ago you explain me how to fix the collar roll problem and now i have a good results.I will come back with trousers photos after i will finish.
Have a nice day!
