Notes	I have used this pattern for a clients Bridal suit, Like a fancy tuxedo with a peplum jacket. The first fitting was done as a test for the fit of the pattern and it was perfect the first time however I opted to make some changes for the actual pair for the suit. First change was the elastic back waistband was taken from side seam to side seam for a nicer fit across the back which illuminated the proofing in the direct centre back. Second change was fully lining the pants and illuminating the front pleats to have the front act as a stabilizer for control. Third change was the legs were also tapered in from 1” at the bottom up to nothing just below the hip. Fourth change was reducing the width of the waistband by half an inch. My client when she tried them on was thrilled with the way they felt and fit her perfectly.
