Even though this is my tnt pants and fits really quite well, when I sewed up the crotch I had, what I generally have even though I straighten out the crotch in the pattern, is that v shape at the inseam. So when you sew it up and straighten out the crotch the front crotch gets longer, again! In the back I need a little extra anyway so it's not a problem in back. What did I do with these is that I sat in that I basted the waistband on and sat until they stretched. Then I took off the band, lowered the front the amount I needed(I pinned out a cf dart) and transferred it to the waist. I measured the seam line before I cut off the extra and after and then deepened the front darts the difference. Of course this doesn't work all that well if you've got pockets. But, you can make the dart at cf and take it off your pattern for the next time. <br />I think that there is something going on at the knee level too. <br />Regardless they are certainly wearable. I can't tell you how long it has taken me to get a great fit! <br />For the crotch you might try putting them on inside out and pin the crotch so that it follows your crotch better.

I just pulled out a red dress that I started working on two years ago and cast aside because I didn't really like the fit on me. Pulled it out two nights ago and decided to finish it for a party on Saturday.
