And I totally intend to mimic the back crotch curve of the vintage ones (along with the back darts) to improve the back fit of the modern ones slightly.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-64456415682831078552012-02-09T14:17:34.093-05:002012-02-09T14:17:34.093-05:00I think both fit just fine.

I...I think the Butterick, modern is the way to go. I think the front issues are greater than the back. I would go with the Butterick and maybe modify the back slightly to move it towards the vintage. That said, either would be fine, really. I know you want them to be perfect, but I think either pattern will give you a good fit. Personally, the front pleat at the waist would nix the vintage for me.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-58965341147869470192012-02-08T14:40:34.958-05:002012-02-08T14:40:34.958-05:00those shorts are going to be SO CUTE!

You should choose based on which one YOU like the look of. The vintage one looks less modern, which is not at all surprising! You like the modern look of the modern pattern and the back shaping of the vintage pattern. The idea of mixing one front and the other back would work, as long as you don't do literally try to combine the pieces. They have a different rise, and may have a different amount of leg flare. They won't match. Instead, transfer the dart shaping and crotch curve you like from one pattern to the other. Hope this makes sense.KayYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09965798068172494708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-42195933659792041052012-02-08T11:28:54.290-05:002012-02-08T11:28:54.290-05:00CGC: No worries!
