Slacks are usually the hardest garment to get to fit properly.
Not so when you begin by using YOUR OWN measurements. It makes no difference if you're heavy set, pencil thin, tall or short, or anywhere in between, you're going to have a pattern and garment that will fit YOUR measurements. Throughout this book we'll be using a sample set of measurements and you will simply substitute your own waist and hip measurement, your own crotch measurement, and of course, use the length you'd like to wear your slacks, shorts, etc.
