Parade of Pants Muslins
In a perfect world, there are no bad muslins, only well-fitting first drafts. Here are my pants muslins for my cigarette pants, which I yet have to find a TNT (tried and true) pattern for.
Clover, as is.
Here is my first draft of Clover with no adjustments. The legs are too long, and the inseam is way too short. This is before the waistband is added and it will be a lot taller, but it definitely does not fit properly. My shirt is pulled up so you can see exactly how low the waistband hits.
+ + +
Simplicity 4886 + Clover legs + Wearing History high-waisted trousers.
This one is a franken-pattern of Simplicity 4886, WH trousers, and Clover legs. I’ll be using this as my base, and tapering the hips/legs so it’s more fitted. We’ll see how it goes.
I’m also making them, and I think I have a similar issue with how low they are sitting (difficult to tell entirely as I also made them much too big), so I’ll be really interested to see how you get along!
I think it might also be my weird (?) body type. This happens to me too in RTW pants. I finally ended up drafting my own pants pattern (more on that in the future) but I do want to fix Clover so the version works for me.
