Hi everyone, my name is Nuria and this is Mastering Journey.

And for today's video, I'm bringing you the second part of the trouser fitting issues series.

For the last video, we looked at all the body-related fitting issues that we had before prototyping.

And in today's video, we're going to be looking into prototyping what wrinkles appear and how to get rid of them.

For it, I made this flowchart with my preferred way of tackling the issues so they don't create extra issues.

This flowchart, everything I'm going to be talking about today,

the last video, and everything about trousers in general can be found in my ebook,

Learn How to Draft Your Dream Trousers.

And if you don't want to make that investment,

I also have the trouser fitting issues chapter separated and you can find it on my website,

even though the flowchart is not included in

that cheat sheet one last thing before we start in the last video i also covered all the pre-prototyping checks

that you have to do like truing all the curves and the waist and checking all the lengths

remember to do that before every single prototype to make sure

that the prototype is correct

but that's everything let's get into the video first things first you have to make a prototype remember

that there are four foundations that i show you how to draft

and every foundation will fit the body differently

so don't try to overfit a culotte's foundation around your buttocks

because that's not going to work just choose the right foundation

and fix it accordingly next thing a prototype what is a prototype a prototype

or a toilet is a garment made from inexpensive fabric used to check the fit the design

and the construction of a pattern before cutting into the real

fabric once you have your pattern at the seam allowances i

normally do around one centimeter at the side seams at the the center front,

center back, inseams and then sew it together.

Make sure you mark all the important lines like the hip line,

the crotch, the knee and the crease line.

I like to leave the opening at the side of the trousers

because the most difficult part to fit is the crotch so I like it to be closed.

Next put an elastic

or a standalone waistband to make sure the trousers are sitting at the waist

and also the hem should end at ankle level to avoid weird unrelated wrinkles.

If that's not the case just fold it inwards and we're ready to start assessing.

Before looking at the flow chart make sure that the side seams,

the in seams and the crease lines are sitting right.

Sometimes the side seams tilt forward the front or the back

and if that's the case just mark on the pattern where the side seam should sit

and transfer it to the pattern by shifting it from the front to the back or the other way around.

Same for the crease line

if it's not in the correct place just go back to your pattern

and check that it's in the correct place and for the in seams you can do the same as side seams.

Looking at the flowchart, the first question to ask is does the waist sit in the right place?

A couple of scenarios can happen.

One, the center front or the center back are not sitting where they should be sitting at the waist,

but the rest of the lines and the crotch curve are correct and without any wrinkles.

This means the need for vertical length at the waist.

To correct this issue, add or remove fabric from the waist.

You can mark it on the prototype and then transfer it to the pattern.

The second scenario is when the center front,

center back and side seams are all not sitting in the right place.

This means that the crotch length is either too short or too long and the length has to be added or removed.

This can also be spotted if you put the trousers at the waist

and there's diagonal wrinkles originating at the crotch going towards the edge of the waist.

To know how much length to add,

put the trousers where the crotch feels comfortable and has no wrinkles

and measure the needed length to get to the waist at the side seam.

To fix it, cut through the hip line and add the necessary length.

In the third scenario, the side seams are sitting in the right place but center front or center back are not.

Another thing happening could be that the hip line is dipping and not straight.

If this happens you can check two things.

First, is the overall crotch length correct?

If it is correct it means the length has to be shifted from one place to another one.

There is different ways to do this depending on where you transfer it from but here is one of them.

To know how much to add measure how much the hip line is dipping.

To fix it create a line from the inseam

that crosses the crotch curve it's not very important where cut

through this line using the inseam as a pivot point

and through the hip line using the side seam as a

pivot point transfer the length from one line to the other one this fix is not my favorite

because it changes the thigh circumference

and might create another issue it might be better to fix it on the pattern by pinching

and pinning and seeing if it would help before making a new prototype the other scenario happens

when the crotch line is correct but then the question to ask here is is the horizontal length correct too.

If it's not, three options appear depending on where the horizontal length needs to be added.

One, there is not enough length at the back.

You might see the side seam still towards the back,

the butt feeling tight, horizontal wrinkles below the butt,

and the waist sitting away from the body.

This might indicate the need for a full seat adjustment.

To know how much length is needed vertically,

measure the distance from the waist of the pattern to the actual waist.

Horizontally release both side seams and measure the distance between the two seam lines.

And to fix it draw a parallel line to the crotch line above the hip and connect it to the waistline.

Draw another line from the inner knee line to this new line.

It does not matter where it crosses the first line.

Cut through the first line up to the waist and through the second line up to the knee.

Add the length to the first line and the width to the second line.

This adjustment will also change the width of the dart to account for a more prominent buttocks.

The other option is that there is not enough length at the front.

If there is extra fabric at the crotch,

cupping under the tummy, the waistline sitting lower than the actual waist,

or the side seams tilting towards the front.

To know how much to add vertically,

measure the distance from the waist to the pattern to the actual waist,

and horizontally release both side seams and measure the distance between the two seam lines.

How to fix it will depend on how much length needs to be added.

If it's one centimeter or less,

add it directly to the center front edge,

100

and if it's more than one centimeter, do the following.

101

Draw a parallel line to the floor from center front to five centimeters before reaching the side seam

102

and connect it to the waist edge.

103

The line should be above the hip line.

104

Draw a second line perpendicular to the first one up to the waist,

105

it's not important where it's placed and the dart line can be used though it may be confusing.

106

Cut along both lines and use the waist cross as pivotal points.

107

At the desired ease but this will tilt the center front

108

and you will have to use the second line to restrain the center front and redraw all the lines as needed.

109

The The third option can be spotted with pulling lines irradiating from center front.

110

This adjustment is done to the front pattern piece.

111

To know how much to add,

112

release both side seams and measure the distance between the two lines.

113

To fix it, create a rectangle shape around the crotch area.

114

This is going to be a guideline.

115

Draw a second guideline using the crotch line and cut through the guidelines

116

and use the crotch point and inseam intersections as pivotal points.

117

Add the length needed by pulling out the crotch.

118

Use guideline 2 to correct the positioning of the curve and redraw the center front and crotch curve.

119

And now that all the horizontal lengths around the crotch curve have been corrected,

120

let's go back to the vertical lengths we haven't fixed yet.

121

In here we have two options and which one will depend on the question.

122

Is the thigh circumference correct?

123

If the circumference is not correct,

124

you can lengthen or shorten the crotch.

125

This option is not the best way to go if the thigh circumference is already correct in the pattern.

126

The fix consists of adding length to the crotch extension

127

which adds ease around the thighs and might cause other issues in the future.

128

If the circumference is correct,

129

the length is added to the hip line.

130

To know how much length to add,

131

measure the distance from the waist of the pattern to the actual waist.

132

To do this adjustment, cut through the hip line and use the side seam as a pivot point.

133

Add as much length as you need.

134

This adjustment can be done for both front and back pattern pieces.

135

The problem with this adjustment is that the inclination of the center front and center back lines will change.

136

This will cause the crease line to be very close to the center front

137

and center back and can have a negative effect if you have a full tummy,

138

a rectangular shape or a flat butt.

139

But don't worry because I'll show you how to fix it later.

140

Now that the vertical lengths are correct the next question to ask is,

141

is the horizontal length correct?

142

In theory, we've already looked at the horizontal length,

143

but some distortion of the pattern might have happened while fixing the vertical length.

144

If the horizontal length is incorrect,

145

there's either too much or too little fabric.

146

In this case, take in the length from center front,

147

center back, and the darts.

148

The other option is if the horizontal length is correct, but badly distributed.

149

You will see this if the butt or tummy fit but there's strange shapes or bubbles along the hip or the waistline.

150

This means the width has to be shifted from one side to another one.

151

If you have an hourglass figure the center front should be shifted towards the side seam.

152

If you have a more rectangular figure it should be shifted towards the center front.

153

If you have a flat butt it should be shifted towards the center back

154

and if you have a prominent butt the center back should be shifted towards the the side seam.

155

From here on is all about checking for specific wrinkles and I'll tackle them in the order I normally tackle them in.

156

Problems with the crotch curve can be spotted the following way.

157

Too much depth, you'll have horizontal wrinkles around the center front

158

or center back and this is called a flat pubis

159

and to fix it just straighten the crotch curve by 0.5 to 1 centimeter at a time.

160

The next option is if there's not enough depth you'll have a wedgie

161

or a camel toe and to fix it just scoop from the curve by 0.5 to 1 centimeter at the time.

162

And the third option is if you have a low butt.

163

This was covered in the last video but it basically means

164

that the butt sits below the crotch line and this can be seen in the pattern with pulling lines cupping the buttocks.

165

Here is an image on how to fix it.

166

You basically have to lower the crotch curve to go below the crotch line

167

but for more details I'll link the other video down below.

168

From there we move into adjustments at the inseam.

169

This adjustment is needed when there are lines pulling from the inseam diagonally outwards and it means the inseam is too short.

170

There's two ways of fixing this issue and the adjustment is done for both front and back pattern pieces.

171

The first option is if you need 1.25 centimeters

172

or less this option shifts the top pattern

173

and brings the crease line closer to the center back

174

so this is not a good option for rectangular bodies

175

and to do it just draw a line below

176

and parallel to the crotch line and cut through

177

and spread to add the desired length option two is

178

if you need 1.25 centimeters or more

179

and to fix it just draw a line below

180

and parallel to the crotch line draw the crease line cut through the lines up to the waist

181

and move that piece up the desired amount.

182

The next adjustment is related to the thighs.

183

This is caused when the thigh circumference is correct but not distributed properly.

184

A full thigh will need more room around the inseam and a thin thigh will need less room around the inseam.

185

Both adjustments follow the same procedure and can be done for both front and back pattern pieces.

186

I would advise you to start with the back piece because there's more room to shift the pattern.

187

To fix it, draw a horizontal line below the crotch line,

188

draw the crease line, cut through it and shift the lower part of the pattern by one centimeter at a time.

189

For a full thigh shift it towards the inseam and for a thin thigh shift it towards the side seam.

190

Then redraw the lines and it's done.

191

The next adjustment in the list is for a full calf.

192

This can be spotted if there are pulling lines around the calf.

193

This means there's not enough room for your calf and horizontal length is needed.

194

This adjustment is done for the back pattern.

195

Draw the crease line and knee line.

196

Draw two lines going from inseam and side seam to the crossing between the knee and the crease line.

197

Cut along the lines using the inseam and side seam as pivot points.

198

Spread the pieces to add width.

199

This will add flair to the bottom hem and change the shape of the leg.

200

If you want to preserve the original silhouette,

201

follow the same procedure and draw two horizontal lines perpendicular to the crease line below the knee.

202

Cut through them and use the inseam and side seams as pivot points.

203

Use these cuts to straighten the hem again.

204

This adjustment can cause too much fabric to be behind the knee and there is two ways to fixing it.

205

Option number one, pin the excess fabric at crotch line level.

206

The fabric will create a triangular shape and this is the easiest way to fix it.

207

The second option is to remove the same amount of fabric from the waistline

208

and another prototype might probably be needed to assess if the issue has been corrected properly.

209

And here we get to the last two adjustments,

210

the knock knee and the boat leg.

211

Knock knees are caused by knees aligning towards each other

212

which creates excess fabric at the outer line of the knee

213

and both legs are caused by the knees aligning away from each other which results in excess fabric along the inseam.

214

This adjustment is done to both front and back.

215

And these are all the adjustments I have for today.

216

I hope I didn't go too fast and everything was clear

217

and as I said I have my ebook with the flowchart included and the cheat sheet with the chapter of fitting issues.

218

But that's everything for today.

219

I hope you enjoyed it and if you found it interesting you can always subscribe

220

and like this video or re-watch it as many times as you want and I'll see you on the next one.

Bye!
