Pattern Corrections for Bottoms – Tilted Hemline in Skirts
What to do when the skirt of your pattern tilts towards the back? This creates an uneven hemline that makes it look shorter at the back. This issue is normally undesired, revealing, and makes the garment look weird and not the right size. The side seam also goes towards the back.
It’s a common issue with skirts and dresses due to the variety of body types that don’t fit industry standards.
Steps to Correct a Tilted Hemline
- Pick up the front panel by pinning the center front waistline up. Pin it until the hemline becomes parallel to the floor, stopping toward the side seam area.
- Measure the amount pinned.
- Come back to your pattern and mark the amount pinned on your front waistline. This is the amount you need to scoop the pattern, increasing the waistline shaping.
- Align the front and back panel pieces to ensure that your waistline is smooth and continuous.
