Alternatively, on this pair, pinch a little wedge at the knee and see if it improves anything. If not, then I'm probably wrong in observation.<br /><br />I studied the Kenneth King ebook on Pants. He starts from scratch. But his principle for fitting is subtraction/addition. Meaning, pinch (or add fabric) to where ever it's needed. Then add/subtract at the nearest seams. Once I started doing this, it FELT right and I could translate that into PMB (usually).Patti's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844174204470503379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304223297100890808.post-20571392793722820932012-04-04T10:08:19.221-05:002012-04-04T10:08:19.221-05:00I think the fit is pretty darn good. I admire the...I think the fit is pretty darn good. I admire the effort and determination you have, not only fitting pants on yourself, but then trying to incorporate those changes in PMB. I went the "draft a basic pant pattern from measurements and have a professional fit it on me" route. I use the resulting sloper to modify commercial patterns and I still have fitting issues depending on the weight and type of fabric I use. Perfectly fitting pants, the elusive goal.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304223297100890808.post-61021808249853903082012-04-03T23:13:17.280-05:002012-04-03T23:13:17.280-05:00Thanks, Dale!Thanks, Dale!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770453004031593722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304223297100890808.post-85275301798125421842012-04-03T23:12:51.302-05:002012-04-03T23:12:51.302-05:00Patti, I appreciate the tips.

Neither of these had occurred to me...I kinda feel like I need the opposite!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770453004031593722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304223297100890808.post-87154278118918505002012-03-31T16:46:35.396-05:002012-03-31T16:46:35.396-05:00Trish, these look quite good. I hope you're o...Trish, these look quite good. I hope you're ok with receiving comments that MIGHT help. Here goes:<br /><br />FLAT SEAT ADJUSTMENT: I know you know how to do this manually, but I was inspired to see someone else's photos:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/7370831@N07/424123160/in/set-72157600004811376/<br /><br />Translating to PMB would, I think, be (1) scooping the crotch; 2) raising the waist about mid-way between CB and SS. I, too, have a flat seat (though very large, haha) and this is what I did and it worked beautifully. Never figured out how to get the wait higher where I needed it with PMB, so it's just manual.<br /><br />KNOCK KNEE ADJUSTMENT: take a small pinch at the outside of knee to see if this doesn't make a nice difference in how pants hang. I have to do this and via PMB I lower the SS by same amount.<br /><br />Cheers, you do such great fitting, I can't believe I'm giving you hints! I follow your blog and PMBHELP on Yahoo.<br /><br />Patti in HoustonPatti's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844174204470503379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304223297100890808.post-2939654051550930532012-03-31T16:35:27.241-05:002012-03-31T16:35:27.241-05:00Boy do these look good!
