ABSTRACT

The Basic Pant is fitted through the hips, through the waist with shaping darts, and has a slightly tapered leg. These pants are designed to have a side seam opening. To get the Waist to Mid Knee measurement, a designer needs to subtract the Waist to Above Knee measurement from the Waist to Below Knee measurement and divide that number by 2. Then they need to add that number to the Waist to Above Knee measurement. A designer may need to extend the length of the crotch depth depending on how the fullness of the figure is distributed. If the figure is fuller in the front stomach area, they want to add length to the front crotch depth by extending up from point L. If the figure is fuller in the back area, then the designer wants to add length to the back crotch depth by extending up from point T.
