The Pants Muslin Journey - Part 1

Well we did a first pass of my pants muslin. The muslin was cut to my altered pattern piece; the black lines are the alterations done to the muslin.

For the front piece I wound up with a size 14, and we removed the dart. We also had to bring it in considerably at the waistline.


The next part was the pant back which I ended up with a size 20. We had to add a dart, and
then taper the seam in at the center back to handle the waist:


The fit was totally awesome (sorry I didn't take pix with the muslin on). I'm currently making a new muslin to the new stitching lines. I'm having to add about 3 inches at the back waistline so we can check the fit thru the back when seated. I'll be sure and take pictures then.
