Pattern really works and it's quite easy! I used one yard of Japanese geisha print: looks really cool.

Im reallly knew at this, and im trying to figure out how to attach the pieces, what does the las step represent, how does it attach itself to the first piece. thanks !

so, as helpful as the pattern is, the instructions are a little bit lacking and i'm having a little trouble figuring out how to sew it.

Aaron: it should be the same as the measurement in step 2. ie. if your waist is 32 inches you'd add 12, making it 44 then divide by 4 making it 11. 11 inches would be the measurement for the pattern piece. the plus 1 is for seam allowance. hope that makes sense.

I am very new to sewing, but I've always been attracted to it (especially for the DIY factor)--anyways my question: What does step 8 mean by (waist measurement +12, +4, +1) Am I to add that somehow to the original measurement? Thanks so much.

For you people; to sew this without the fly. Remove the said imaginary line for fly and add two inches to the size on that side. It worked amazingly for me.

how would i modify this pattern to make it without the fly?

yes doo

idk

okay, I know this a guy friendly pattern, but as a girl, I wouldn't mind making this for myself. And if you wanted these unmentionables to really be unmentionable, make it out of lace! same with the corset! thx
