You got that right! I feel the same way. I really don't want to "physically" measure anyones crotch, but using this method, you can let your client help you with the process. Glad I could help...Happy Sewing!

Really good tip! I never thought of measuring a ready made pair of pants that fit. Thanks for sharing! Do you have any tips on narrow shoulders, (fabric hanging off), how to lowering a the bust dart and a short waist with a short back length? I seem to understand you better than anybody. Thanks!

Excellent tip! My challenge is knowing which measurement to use as my 'true' waist. I've been reading up on this as I am getting ready to try to make some pants for myelf, however I wear most pants over my navel which is much lower than what they say is my true waist. Would you say record the waist measurement at the spot where you actually prefer the top of your waistband to hit?

[NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thanks for a great question! Today it is very difficult for a beginning seamstress to figure out where the "actual" waist is due to the fact that most manufacturers are making slacks and jeans that have a waist line that is slightly lower than the actual waist line. My suggestion would be to figure out exactly where "you" want the waistband of your pants to hit you and that's where you should start measuring the crotch. Hope this was helpful!

Can you do a video on taking up the fullness in men's dress pants between the knee and hip.(MAN IS FLAT IN REAR) has 48" waist small legs. Thank you

[NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thanks for your question. I see this problem a lot. I make a lot of my videos from projects that I receive from my clients. The next time I have a pair of slacks that I have to take in the seat and legs, I promise I will do a video on it. Thanks for asking and for watching!

Hi Dennis, thanks for your question. Jeans fit the body closer than dress slacks. I'm afraid, measuring the jeans for your crotch measurement would give you an incorrect number. I do suggest you try on the slacks and once you find a pair that you like the way they fit, you can use that pair to judge the crotch of future slacks. Hope this helps!

Not sure if this has been asked...If I need to get my crotch measurement for a suit can I use a pair of jeans with how you instructed in this video? Also, starting at the bottom seam of the jeans strip or should I go try on suit pants to get that measurement..

Awww.. thanks for the Joined Tape-measure idea, just the other day I had to measure someone's crotch area, but not without breaking out a Sweat..lol. The old way is too up close for me, especially when having to measure a man. :-o
