Vintage Joan said... Nice -- thanks for the review. These look slim in the pattern photo, so I was very surprised to see how wide the legs were... until I read that you added 3 inches at the side seams from the hip down. OK, now I get it. :) ...BTW, if you like wider legs and no pleats, Burda 7768 might work, too (skip the extra pockets, doo-dads, and topstitching if you like). 5/30/09 4:32 PM
