Hi all!
The trouser I drafted has a 37“ seat, 31” waist, and a 11” rise. Rory mentioned in the video series that measured it should be 3” more than the measured seat (in this case 40”) but when I measured it, it came out at 40 1/2. While its admittedly not too much of a difference there are two questions I have:
if there is a possible reason it came out 1/2” more and if it being 1/2” more could hypothetically affect the trousers, where could this excess (on the pattern) be reduced? I have seen many tailors let out at the seat line, but if the waist is correct do I take it on the side seam? Or do I just adjust the seat angle a little on point 21-20?
If it’s because of my rise being an 1” taller, does the finished seat-to-measured seat naturally increase when the rise gets taller?
Also if I want my waistband to hit directly on my navel/hip **** line, is 11” a correct or erroneous rise for my height (I’m 5’10)?
Of course, I’m going to have a fitting so these points could possibly get corrected but I did want to ask in case I’m making an error.
Thanks!
