Burda Style For people who sew

I am from Greece where women are usually a little curvier, especially in the bottom area... What I've learned all these years of trying to turn my flaw into a benefit is that the classic pants are not very flattering for any body type. So I always have to make this little alteration to all pants patterns in order to divide each back piece into two. Unfortunatelly I don't know how this type of pants is called, I would be greatful if someone of you informed me how this little piece of fabric is called.

  It was an excellent technique. I had never quite thought about that part of the pants having anything to do with fit before. This was very enlightening :)

  I’ve often heard of that little piece being referred to as a “saddleback”?

  You are correct that this technique of adding a yoke makes pants more flattering with a better fit on nearly every woman. It adds a place for adjustments that most classic pants try to manage with darts. I bought some slacks with a yoke about one year ago that fit quite well and I look forward to using your technique on one of my patterns.

  The “small piece” that you have created is called a YOKE :)
