Hi,

I’ve followed your Video step by step to make a straight skirt. And it turned up wonderfully on the back side. But in the front, there were a lot of rankles around my tumid area. So I took darts off in the front, then I added those extra lengths to the side seam; it looks better but not totally smooth. Can you tell me what to do to get rid of rankles?  I am skinny and flat belly) and how can I make smoother in the front.
 
Thank you
May

Re: how to smooth the tumid area

Dear May.

The best way to handle this situation is to have very narrow darts in the front, then add the excess intake to the side seams and some to the back darts as well.

By distributing the excess intakes over to the sides and the back of the skirt, we can smooth out the fabric in the front. This is especially so if you have protruding buttocks more than a standard figure. Also make sure that you have 4 waist darts at the back and add the excess intakes to them but not to the center back dart.

Hope this helps.
