This topic of double darts at the pants waist edge is well worth repeating. I just had to show you another example of how adding a second dart at the waist line of your pants pattern can really improve the fit.
If you go from a relatively small waist to quite full high hips, I highly recommend adding a second dart to the waist edge of your pants pattern.
This lady attended one of my recent Fit & Sew Retreats. She has a pretty dominant swayed, dipped center back (at the waist edge), quite full low hip measurement and thin legs.
Here's the result:
She's always had difficulty getting any pants (or skirt for that matter) to fit. That's why she attended the Retreat.
Keeping in mind these are test pants, where every wrinkle and nuance shows, you're seeing a near to perfect fit at the waist and in the hips and a beautiful hang on the leg. From a side view you're seeing a perfectly straight side seam. CF needed to be raised slightly, but that was refined in the tune-ups.
In the above close-up, you're seeing the position of the 2 waist-fitting darts. They shape her hip shape well.
She did a great job of drafting her pattern and the results as so worth her effort. Well done...and great fit!

For any of you ladies who might fall into this category, you'll want to give this a try.
