Body Specific Pants Fitting Adjustments: Tilted Waist

Today on Fit Tip Tuesday I'm starting a new series. I have worked with many women to help them fit pants using a fit muslin. There are been many times that I wished we had addressed certain body specific issues before prepping the pattern and cutting fabric. Today I'm starting with a tilted waistline because one of my subscribers asked me about this adjustment. I played with my mini leg pattern pieces to come up with an easy way to do it. I'll share how to adjust the pieces if your waistline tilts forward or backward. We'll also look at other aspects of the pattern pieces that are affected by this adjustment. I'll show you how to put them back to their original shape if you need to... and explain why you might want to let them be.
