I glued pockets in different spots to experiment with the way they can effect the look of your bum. It turns out, it really does make a difference!
1) Small pockets make your bum look bigger.
3) Low pockets make your bum look saggy.
2) Big pockets make your bum look smaller.
4) High pockets can possibly make your bum look lifted (although I don’t think this really works with my bum shape).
5) Narrow pockets can make your bum look narrow and not plump.
6) Wide pockets make your bum look wide, but not necessarily in a good way.
The best placement is different for every bum (and how that we can decide where to put our pockets when we sew). For me, I think I like medium sized pockets right in the center (photo 1).
I hope this is helpful for deciding where to place your pockets. Gotta get that bum looking its best!
