This is where I get confused, trying to keep strait all of the ones I
looked at. In some ways it seems to me that the side gores did the best
job in putting in the width for the hips. The V on the other hand gave
a very different fullness and look to the garment. I probably just need
to sew in a v on some scrap fabric and then play with a mirror till I
figure out the right place.
Thanks so much,
