I have created the pattern for these culottes and skirts by using the hip measurement alone. This may seem like a lot of work for you but it is the only way to have a nice fit in culottes.
FYI:The general rule for culotte length is 1 to 2 inches below the knee.
These do not ride up when you sit down.
The way to get the nicest fit with culottes/skirts:
THERE ARE DROP DOWN CHOICES FOR THE FOLLOWING:
YOUR SIZE -- Take your hip measurement, this is usually about 8-9" from your waist. (the fullest part of your hip). This is the size culotte you want to order.
YOUR LENGTH -- It's is easy to take, simply measure (at your side) from your waist to desired length. IF you want it to be adjusted from the chart on the culotte page there is a drop down that will let us know.
NEXT ONLY IF NECESSARY:
YOUR WAIST -- When you go to order there will be a section where you can leave me a message .. be sure to ADD YOUR WAIST MEASUREMENT if it is different than the size you ordered. I will take that measurement and adjust the elastic so I can tailor these to fit you nicely.
Ladies PLEASE .. IF you or your daughter wear your clothes 'low waisted' and you are hoping for a loose waist you MUST tell me that at the time of ordering. I really do aim to please. Saying LOOSE WAIST will help a bunch in getting that fit you want!! (I' add a couple more inches! and save you the trouble and expense of second shipping charges having to send back to me to alter!)
[CULOTTES ONLY]
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES -- Such as if you are petite, or extra tall.
Be sure to let me know if you are ordering the ladies size for a child, there are adjustments to the front and back pleat that will need to be made so that they will fit properly.
[SKIRLOTS ONLY]
I WILL LEAVE PARTWAY OPEN ON THE BOTTOM SIDES OF SKIRT UNLESS YOU REQUEST THEM CLOSED COMPLETELY
