Final Vesion of Pants Sloper

I think (hope, hope, hope!) I have taken the pants sloper as far as I can. I took a tuck at the hip area which pulled up the crotch and also let out the front inseam by 1/4 of an inch. They are not perfect but they hang pretty nicely and are comfortable to stand and walk in.


So I think I am going to dive in and make a pair of pants based on these measurements. I'm trying to decide if I should do a straight leg or bootleg cut. I'm most tempted to try the bootleg to see what that will do to the back. So off to the fabric store I go to buy some inexpensive twill or poplin. I'm too afraid to use my favorite fabrics just in case these don't work out.
