Thanks for such a detailed review Lorna. Your pants look very comfortable. I think I will try these for myself.

There was a Threads article about hiding a zipper in the inside seam of one pocket (where the two pocket pieces are sewn together). Add the width of the pocket to the waist band and either hide the opening, or make it a design feature. Keep the original front zipper opening giving yourself a total of two zippers on the pants. This allows you to dart the pants in at the waist and still have enough fabric to get them over your hips. I think two darts on each panel looks better than lots of small darts. Good luck! Neana

Some of my RTW have elastic in the back only from side seam to side seam. Several of my RTW pants have 2 back darts and 2 smallish front pleats-this helps add some room at the hip area, too.
