Your pants fit really well.

Yes, I finally achieved well fitting pants with a Burda pattern too. Congrats. They look nice. For the bagginess under the back cheeks try taking in the back inseam.

Great looking pants! I looove Burda pants. For the wrinkles in back, check out Debbie Cook's fisheye dart alteration at this site: http://216.25.11.234/familyphotos/sewing/info/KK_fisheye_dart/index.html There's a big discussion of this problem on the pattern alteration portion of the message board.

You did a great job. Thanks so much for your review. It's nice to see another Albertan. I'm from Edmonton.

I, too, have been working on this very pattern and needed only minor adjustments. I got rid of some back wrinkles by taking the inseam seam 1" instead of 5/8". Nice job on your pants!

I, too, have a problem with bagginess under the seat and I looked for solutions: see Alterations for Women's Ready-to Wear by Mary A Roehr. The copyright is 1987 so if you can't find it, I could copy and send you the appropriate pages. Mainly it calls for reducing the length of back portion at the waist before attaching it to the waistband. I'll need your e-mail address to do that.

Nice fit on the pants. Good for you to have found a pattern that requires so little alteration!

Your pants muslin turned out real well. I am still trying to perfect pants. Kenneth King's Trouser CD talks about fisheye dart in the seat area. Debbie Cook has perfected this with her pants and you might try going to the message board here on PR and read more about that. Either that or taking up more of the back inseam may do the trick. You are definitely on your way to a great fitting pair of pants.

Thank you for the excellent review. They look very nice on you. Be proud!

I'd try that fisheye dart too, but yours really isn't that bad. It will be a small adjustment - much smaller than you'd need in a big 4 pant pattern. I too am a Burda convert, and I have a flat butt, so I always have that problem. Less so in Burda, though. I think that this pant will look great in lots of different fabrics. You've made me want to try this one!

I bought the pattern after reading your review - I need grey pants this winter but the "in" colour is chocolate - I'm sure that with the wide range of sizes this will be really useful. Did you think of doing the pocket stay in lining fabric to reduce bulk? I really like your pants by the way!

Your pants look so nice on you. I think pocket stays really help tremendously in fit, but you never find them anymore in big 4 -- another plus for Burda.

Unfortunately, I need a password, etc., to see your pics at the Kodak (formerly ofoto site).

Thanks for the great review. I'd love to see your pants, but also can't view your photos. Update 11/04/05 Thanks for the photos. I think your pants look very nice. You did a great job with the fit issues.

Your pants look great and are a really nice fit. You might tweak the fit a bit but they are pretty dang close to perfect already! Once I tried a Burda pant pattern, I too was a convert. They are great.
