Ronda Rae said... Wonderful! We must have the same taste in clothing; I want to make these, too! Thank you for reviewing- It'll probably March 2010 before I get to them though. ;p Ronda 6/30/08 5:55 PM

Annette1 said... You look AWESOME in these pants. I think your version is SO much classier than the pair shown on the model, not just in style but in construction, as well. I LOVE the center leg detailing on your version. 6/30/08 7:59 PM
ocotillo said... Great pants! I have to say that I also think they looked fine in the wide version, but they look great now--just a different style. I love the topstitching you did. I always look forward to your reviews because we seem to have a similar frame and style. I've added this one to my wishlist, as well! 6/30/08 8:01 PM

rosannec said... I love your modification! I, too, loved the look of the pants on the fashion photos, but the line drawing had me second guessing. I own one pair of pants with pleat font legs and they do to me what these did to you pre-alteration. Great fix with sewing down the pleat! And, thank you for the review!! 6/30/08 10:03 PM
svenskaflicka said... These are really cute with your modifications! I like yours better than the original. Those pleats opening at the thigh are weird. 6/30/08 10:25 PM

Dei said... I don't know what looks better, these pants or your flat stomach. With a 4 yr. old, no less. The pants are fantastic and I love the idea of continuing the pleat down the length on the leg. I really want to try this pattern, but had concerns over the wide leg as well. 7/1/08 9:56 PM
EveS said... Wow, Dawn, those are seriously impressive! What a fabulous save!!! Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. 7/2/08 0:54 AM
KrystalL said... I agree with everyone else. Great save on the pants, and stitching the pleat all the way down was a good move! The look really nice. 7/3/08 8:42 AM

starset said... The BURDA patterns are lovely - I selected several -- LISTED EASY - and am stuck and going no where. It is so discouraging to work on cutting, reading, only to find I do not know how to accomplish the end product. My sewing skills have simply gone to the dogs. 7/4/08 1:35 AM
Deepika said... Thanks for your honest review. I too thought that they are bootleg but after reading your review I've decided that they may not be flattering on me. Your pants look awesome though. Great save! 7/21/08 2:04 PM
