Fit 1 and Fit 2

The hip and waist measurements for both fits are the same, however the shaping of the transition between the waist and hip is different.

Fit 1 is appropriate for people with a substantial tissue deposit at the sacrum, resulting in a significant angle between the top of the buttocks and the cheeks when viewed from the side.

Fit 2 represents a comparatively smoother transition between the back and the buttocks.

Which are you?

We found that when we first started talking about the two fits, a lot of folks identified as Fit 1 (or thought of themselves as having a 'shelf butt' when we would have recommended that they choose the Fit 2 pattern. If you're uncertain about which Fit to choose (or have any other questions about sizing) you can always email measurements and even photos to help@munaandbroad.com

Which patterns have Back Fit options?

Both our Whitlam Skirt and Noice Jeans come with options for Fit 1 and Fit 2. 

For some of our more recent pants patterns, like the Cooper Barrel Jeans and Eileen Barrel Pants, we found that the darts gave a great fit on both shapes of posterior without the need for modifications.
