Fix Front Rise Wrinkles on Pants Patterns – Step 3: Adjust the Front-Rise Curve

Whiskers are for Cats! We want to avoid them in our pants along that front curve of the rise.

Always check first that the vertical line at the front rise doesn’t go in further than 1/4” or 3/8”. If it does, correct that slant first. Also, check the thigh width. If none of these apply or work, you will need to give to the front rise curve.

*Open your fitting sample at the front rise curve, meaning from the crotch to the upper part of the rise.
*Allow it to relax open and measure the amount we’ve opened.
*Give to your front rise curve half of the amount you’ve opened. It’s basically deepening the curvature of that front rise.
*Go to zero at the crotch point and go to zero wherever you stopped opening that sample.
