Perfectly fitting trousers help hide any imperfections of a person. Visually it is possible to lengthen the silhouette and hide volumes. However, there are times when pants do not hide flaws, but rather show them, making the image less than ideal. Folds in the trousers at the hips or along the legs make the look look careless. We will discuss below how to fix this so that the product fits perfectly.
Main defects in the fit of trousers
Making pants fit perfectly is much more difficult than correcting fit defects in a blouse or shirt. Most often, in order for a product to fit perfectly, it is sewn according to individual parameters, taking into account the characteristics of the figure. At the first fitting, defects that will need to be corrected immediately become noticeable.
Fitting defects in the hips and methods of elimination
If a person has full hips, then visible horizontal lines appear on clothing in this area. In the case when there are vertical stripes on the pants. A curved line is formed in the hip area, spoiling the whole image.Transforming the front pattern of the product will help fix this. By slightly increasing the parameters, you will be able to avoid such defects.
When a person has full inner thighs, horizontal stripes appear in the groin area and under the buttocks. To avoid this, you need to cut the pattern where it tightens the hips as much as possible, and widen the pants. This is done on two legs.
With full hips, a horizontal bend is formed on the outside of the leg in the pants towards the inner seam. This indicates that there is not enough tissue along the hip line. Expanding the part from the inside and outside will help correct the problem.
Also, trousers often don’t fit well on narrow hips. The product seems baggy and wide. To make a product smaller, you need to figure out how much excess fabric needs to be removed between the pieces. Then we cut off the excess fabric on both sides and connect the pattern.
Fitting defects on the leg and ways to eliminate them
If a person has thin, long legs, then the pants look voluminous and big. To correct this problem, you need to measure the circumference of your leg and compare it with the dimensions on the pattern. Determine the difference, set aside 1/5 of the total value for the internal and external seams. This will reduce the width of the product in the trouser girth area and along the entire leg.
Important! All changes in product parameters are made on two legs so that there is no difference.
In the case when the problem is the length of the product. It is either long or short. It is necessary to add/subtract the length of the trouser leg. You can add it with small, thin cuffs. If the product is long, then we remove the length only from the bottom.
Other possible problems and solutions
Quite often, creases form on trousers in the waist area. It seems that the pants are too small.The problem can be corrected by shortening the middle seam of the trousers to the size of the fold. And make the waist dart half as long.
There are cases when a person has a small protruding tummy, due to which folds form on the belt. To correct this, you need to add length to the front seam. To do this, cut the pattern horizontally on the front half of the pants and add a little extra fabric.
If the trousers are quite loose, vertical folds may form along the loose front edge. To fix this, it is best to reduce the step protrusion of the rear part of the product.
If vertical stripes appear on the back of the leg near the middle and side seam, you should pay attention to the side cut. Usually this problem occurs when it is bent. To correct the defect, the upper part of the middle seam is slightly shifted to the side. Due to this, the width of the step zone increases and the defect disappears.
To look perfect, choose the right trousers for your figure. They should not have folds or irregularities. And the length must correspond to the person’s parameters. Only then will you be irresistible!
