MODULE 6
Side Seam Adjustments
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to evaluate whether your skirt is too loose, too tight, or simply not following your body’s natural side contour—and how to fix each scenario with clarity and confidence. Once the fit feels right on your body, you’ll translate those measurements back to your pattern so your updated side seam is smooth, accurate, and ready for your next iteration.


In this lesson, you’ll learn how to identify and fit a hip dip—an inward curve between the waist and low hip that some bodies naturally have. You’ll map the dip on your muslin using vanishing points and incremental measurements, then translate those changes into a soft, elegant S-curve on your pattern. Whether you decide to honor the dip (or not), you’ll understand exactly how to shape the side seam so it reflects your body beautifully.
