Question
I have a pair of crop pant, with wide legs. The fit is good in the waist and at the thighs.  I don't like the flair toward the hem.  I'm not sure if I should take in on both the inseam and the outside seam.

Answer
Hi Len,
The best way to see where to take in the flare is to turn the pants inside out.  Look at the leg seams.  If one is straight and the other flared, use the flared seam to take in the flare.

If both seams are flared, then divide the amount you want to take out of the legs in half and do it on both legs.

happy sewing
