Today we'll look at the crotch curve and why it's so important for a good fit in pants. In basic pants patterns, the crotch curve is drawn more or less freehand, which can lead to mistakes. Unfortunately, you can't "measure" the curve's shape on the body, so you have to experiment and, most importantly, recognize when the curve is incorrect, what's wrong with it, and how to correct it in the pattern. Problems like catface/cat whiskers can arise as a result; we'll discuss that in the next video.
