Dragline Corrections for Bottoms – Fuller Tummies and Backsides
What to do when you have draglines pointing towards the fullness of your abdomen or backside? This correction works for both skirts and pants.
Steps to Correct Draglines
- Cut horizontally where the fullness of the tummy or backside is the biggest. Angle your cut down to the hip area on the side seam.
- Cut along the darts or where you plan to add darts. The darts allow for better fullness where needed.
- Allow your sample to open up and tape it open.
- Measure the amount you’ve opened and add it to your pattern horizontally and vertically at the lower dart position.
- By cutting the pattern as shown and pivoting, your dart will automatically be created, or if you already have a dart, you’ll know how much to increase it.
Tip: In some situations, you may need to open up the side seam if the hip still feels too tight after this correction. You can add a little extra at the hip area on the side seams.
