As requested here is a shot of the back view of my Duet pants. I hesitate to show this as the cotton poplin, here after I had worn these pants most of a day, is super wrinkly and I am afraid this will look more like a design issue with the pattern rather than a fabric issue. Bit like asking what's wrong with a dress pattern when it is made in linen after a day in the car.
I would put in my two cents worth too on the very common problem of a horizontal fold under the seat - I have found that famous "Clown Butt" alteration tactic works really well to fix that.
I have written about this in my book but also on this blog somewhere - if you search with that term in the search box it should turn up.
Back on topic, here is my back view of the Duet pants:

Now I’ve looked at this alteration inyour blog and the light bulb came on. I definitely need this alteration. I always have too much fabric pushed down below my butt when I sew or buy pants. Thanks!
Thank you so much, Barbara, for your reply and excellent photo. I have found your blog posts for the Clown Butt alteration, too. So very kind of you.
I shall get on and order the patter, straight away - and try the 'CB' fix asap.
Kind regards,
Clare.
Great fit! And helpful for people to see that this is good for a casual pant. I think too many people have gotten in their heads that pants must be completely, perfectly, flat/straight!!!! (I'm exaggerating purposefully!)
