Hello! Thank you so much for posting instructions on the straight skirt sloper. I am just learning, and it's a revelation to me! I've worked through the process and have some questions about the fit of my "muslin"--attached are pictures if you have time to comment. (I'm sorry about the fabric, but this is what I had available and didn't realize it would be hard to evaluate because of the pattern.) The front does not hang completely flat and the side seams pull towards the front as they descend towards the floor. Is this because the original hip measurement was too small? If so, would I need to re-do several calculations to correct it, or is there a shortcut? Also, I think the back darts (2 on each side) should be moved toward the center back. (Also please note that the waist seam is folded down 1/2" because seam allowance was added to the sloper.) Thank you so much for any advice you can provide! Best wishes, Kelly

HI Kelly, sorry for the late reply - Kids and back-to-school preparations distracted me from the forum Few points: I looked at your pictures, and don't think that the hip measurement is a smaller issue - judging by the first two images, you need a couple of centimetres extra, but please re-measure it to be sure. I would also look at the back and front (and side) length and remeasure it again. When I started pattern drafting I had to remeasure several times in a row, until I had consistent results. Also, when fitting, what helps is having an elastic tied around waist as a guide for the waist line. The skirt should hit the waist line, and if it doesn't it will give you an idea where you need corrections Your posture. Often, we assume different postures when taking measurements, or taking photographs, just try to keep it natural. Check out your images and you will see slight differences Finally, it will help you analyse your images/fit if you you use the floor as a horizontal guide when taking pictures. I just noticed that some images are taken at an angle. I hope this helps, let me know how it goes - I should be logging in daily from now on. Marina

Thank you, Marina! Your comments are very helpful, and I will let you know how it goes after I re-measure and make corrections.

sorry, I meant: hip measurement is not the only issue, and you may lack only a centimetre or two there. Pay more attention to your lengths )

Hi Marina I finally got a chance to take measurements with my mom and with better tools and my relative error is closer to one (it's 17/16). Can't wait to finally get a chance to draft and sew up a muslin! Thank you for all your hard work!! Bailee

hello.. I have finished my muslin. Thank you for your effort in creating the drafting measurement and calculations. I simply love it.
I feel comfortable with the muslin - not tight on the hip, the back darts fit well... with a few problems which I hope you could help me. I seem to have problem with the front part. I hope to send you the photos of the muslin soon. Cheers.

In your list of tutorials, you mentioned "SSDA 12: Making a Toile and Analyzing the Fit" but I have searched the entire site and can't find this tutorial. Did you not end up posting this information? I would love to learn more!
Thank you!
