FIT LIBRARY · HIPS

Prominent hips,
drafted properly.

Horizontal creases at the hip line and pockets that gape.

Short answer

Hip room added asymmetrically where needed; pocket placement re-set to the true line.

Why it happens

Hip prominence wider than the block at that height.

Why ready-to-wear cannot fix it

Size charts grade uniformly; prominent hips is a personal geometry. A block adjusted in one place pulls in another — which is why the correction must exist in the pattern, not in the fitting-room mirror.

How the house drafts for it

Hip room added asymmetrically where needed; pocket placement re-set to the true line. The correction is recorded in your Fit Passport, so every later commission starts from it automatically.

Where it matters most

This correction carries most for: trousers, suit, womens suit. It is reviewed at every fitting, in every city, for every garment.
