CarolynGM said... Very snazzy looking. 2/25/08 7:46 PM
AnneM said... Interesting. I particularly like your parting thought about a cool pair of pants to cover with (I'm a fan of that in the summer sun, being light skinned). P.S. I think I agree with you; the tie on the white pair just doesn't work well for you. 2/25/08 8:42 PM
CharityAK said... One of my sewing students just bought this pattern. I will have to bring this review to her attention before she begins. Thanks so much! 2/25/08 9:03 PM

lilyofthevalley said... I remember these well from the 70's and you couldn't climb stairs (or do much else) in them then, too. But they always looked so dreamy, and yours do, too. Changing them to elastic waist wrap pants was a perfect compromise and you'll be comfy, pretty in your at-home evening parties. -Lily 2/25/08 10:18 PM

They're cute, just thinking out-loud here, I wonder if they'd be more flattering & do your figure more justice if they were cropped a bit?http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml;jsessionid=W2J4EFHCZ5NTSCQAAKHBADA?itemId=prod48230049&parentId=cat000727&index=558&cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000111cat000727 2/25/08 10:34 PM
LauraLo said... So cute and so comfy, they must feel like a seabreeze against the skin! I have a pair of these pants (we call them Thai pants), in a heavier linen, and they are the best there is on a hot summer day. 2/26/08 2:54 AM
Huldra said... I made a pair of pants like these as a teenager. I wore them to death. I wore them out and about town too! lol As I recall they were faily comfortable... 2/26/08 7:12 AM

SewVeryTall said... What a great pair of lounge pants! Your modification is genius, and 100% improvement...not only in looks, but in wearability. Beautiful and flowing :) 3/1/08 9:34 AM
