I have made the wide leg pant in a drapy rayon three times; just cut a size larger. I love this pattern!

I agree - these are great. I have made 2 pairs of the wide legs in a thin c/l. I find the cut is very flattering to my pear shape. I had to size the pattern up 6". No problem! I love this pattern too!

Sarah--I am a pear shape searching for flattering pants. What do you mean by "I had to size the pattern up 6". Do you mean you had to add 6" to the hip width, length? If hip, why wouldn't you just cut bigger size? What size would you recommend person cut out--exactly as pattern states or one bigger or smaller? Thanks.

I like this pattern too. Though CJ suggests strongly that you make the pants in cotton/lycra, I made a pair of the taper pants in slinky and they are currently one of my favorites. Nice drape, and just the right amount of ease. They are also very cool and elegant for wearing in the summer because of the acetate content of the slinky. If you do make them from this fabric, you might want to consider shortening the length as the slinky stretches with wear (and recovers with laundering).

I would love to see the fit of these pants on some one else. I sure they would look better on you than the hanger. I have made one pair of taper pants in a mystery knit and I plan on making my next pair in stretch denim. Thanks for the tip about the length.

A very nice collection of pants.

Sherril, these pants fit like a loose legging at the top and then skim over the rest of my legs (maybe with an inch or two of ease). I have slender legs so they probably would be tighter on a person with average sized legs. The fit isn't perfect on me in the seat/back upper thigh area but I'm satisfied with it. I always wear long shirts with these and I think that's what they are intended for.
