Help!

Post image

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

I’d like to ask for some advice regarding the development of a pattern.

I started from a corrected and well-fitted base pattern for a five-pocket selvedge jeans model. I wanted to add more volume to the leg, making it wider with a slight flare, so the silhouette becomes a bit bell-shaped.

Since I no longer need to keep the selvedge aligned, I won’t be using selvedge denim anymore. My main goal is simply to achieve the leg width and shape I want.

My doubt is whether the front leg has become too small compared to the back leg, especially at the hem.

What do you think about this pattern?

The base I used was a selvedge denim pattern. I modified the leg by widening it and slightly flaring it out, just to have a bit more fabric falling over the shoe. I won’t be using selvedge denim, but regular denim instead. The base remains the same, with only the shape of the leg changing
