# Creating your first trousers with AI – Hips Width

You are creating your first LE CHEMISEUR® trousers with our AI and would like to check the hips width? This page is for you.

## Best practice

![The hips measurement is the foundation for constructing a trouser pattern. It's the width at the widest point of the buttocks. The trousers should follow your seat shape without unsightly folds and remain comfortable even when seated.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/f/f/8/e/ff8ec452db1e7000/619a353c-4bdf-4869-bf82-c64753_k7hahq.jpeg)

## Trust the AI

Trust our AI—it predicts the hips width very accurately!

### 🕺🏼 Buttocks shape considered

If you selected **“Flat Buttocks”**, the hips width was reduced by 1 cm; if you chose **“Round Buttocks”** it was increased by 1 cm (tilt and rise were also adjusted).

## What hips width corresponds to on trousers

![Choose trousers with little or no stretch (maximum 2 % elastane). Lay them flat with the button closed and measure the width from the left edge to the right edge, passing through the lowest point of the fly on the front.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/f/b/a/bfba12568637a000/616c13ac-35fc-4feb-97fd-f080eb_ougp3i.jpeg =600x300)

|| The hips width is hard to measure precisely on an existing pair of trousers, because it is a 3-D shape. 

## What seat width corresponds to on the body

![If you need to check the seat width on your body, measure around the widest part of the buttocks without tightening. Divide by two and add 1 cm of ease to the half-circumference so you can move and sit comfortably.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/4/d/d/2/4dd207c5f3d0d400/a7fde76a-04c4-4582-b55d-488519_1cserw5.png =600x473)
