I have a related figure type - not a flat butt so much as a tucked-under pelvis, which means I have a prominent front pelvis (Palmer & Pleish describe this under the heading 'Crotch oddities', which I kind of like ;-) ). So I teamed your changes with P&P's suggestion, a scooped-out front crotch curve; keeping the crotch length the same means that this 'scooping' moves the inner seam of the front in, which ends up a 'slim inner thigh' adjustment. And voila! No wrinkles under the seat, and no folds down the centre front of the thighs. Thanks again for this post :-) maria in South AfricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-79345326955527182982016-03-04T11:02:01.712-05:002016-03-04T11:02:01.712-05:00Lovely pants!Lovely pants!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-56118559174537644952016-02-24T07:54:06.507-05:002016-02-24T07:54:06.507-05:00I have exactly the same figure issues and as a who...I have exactly the same figure issues and as a whole wear pants about 3 days in a year.
