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,
