Thanks for your comment. Typically I agree with you 100% and originally that is what Chris and I discussed. But after talking about it for a little, taking some measurements, etc., we decided to go with a particular layout of reverse pleats and a special welted pocket that Chris does in order to minimize pocket bulge at the hips. I’ll be able to give a better reflection after wearing the finished suit a few times. Always a learning experience, no?

Looks good. Only minor point of contention: The pleats. Not having them, as despite what fashionistas say, pleats work on everyone. It’s that they are reverse pleats. Forward pleats have even more of a slimming effect and generally make for a better line on the leg. They are also less prone to opening up. You might see if he can make them forward facing instead at this point.
