My feeling has always been that the back inner leg seam, above the knee needs to be stretched. That way the upper back of the pants rotates to the side. I have sometimes achieved a similar effect by slashing the pants just below the back crotch line, lengthening the inner leg by an inch or so, and thereby rotating the buttock part of the back outwards past the original side seam. I then lowered the crotch point on the back so that front and back inner leg seams are the the same length again. I remember when I learnt to sew 40 years ago, that there were patterns where the back inner leg seam needed to be stretched by pressing to get it long enough to match the front. Let me know if you would like me to send you some drawings of what I mean, as it is all a bit difficult to explain! :)WeLoveSewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990512521635845611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-78184100953571479752011-01-16T19:25:47.814-05:002011-01-16T19:25:47.814-05:00I have been using Coni Crawford pants patterns for...I have been using Coni Crawford pants patterns for all my clients from size 6 to 32 and they are perfect...no baggy butts, side seams hang perfectly straight.

I have a higher hip and unless I give myself some extra room on that side I get those diagonal wrinkles. Pull it down on that side and see if they go away. You don't look uneven but your waist could certainly be tilted slightly or you just have it pulled up unevenly.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-8308369383282482262011-01-15T06:40:13.008-05:002011-01-15T06:40:13.008-05:00Thank you for detailing the process in fitting the...Thank you for detailing the process in fitting these pants.
