Barbara3 6/22/09I've been waiting for your review since Deepika mentioned it was coming. Thanks for the great tips and information! Your pants look terrific on you, and you definitely have a TNT in this pattern.

Sew4Fun 6/22/09Thanks for this review. I can't believe your good timing. I have this pattern out on my cutting table atm and I came to the computer to look for reviews and here yours is, posted only minutes ago. Talk about timing. :) Anyway, great pants.

Deepika 6/22/09Talk about a helpful review. This is indeed one! You really did work hard on making this pattern fit you like a dream. The pants look awesome! I can only wait for you to pop into my office every two days with a new pair :) Congrats on a perfect pants pattern.

Heidi Ho 6/22/09Those pants look great on you. They really fit nicely and I don't think the look too tight at all. They just show off you nice shape!!!

cabinbaby 6/23/09I think they look great too. Even the ones you think look too tight.

Annette1 6/23/09What a great review, very thorough! I'm especially interested in seeing these made up, because Christa recently bought this pattern for me, and I can't wait to get it! Yours have turned out so nicely, I hope mine will be half as flattering. :o) (I don't think they look too tight in the back, by the way.)

MLoyet 6/23/09Thanks for the great review! I have been struggling with pants myself, and did a similar alteration to get rid of the bunching in the back. It worked pretty well, but I think I need to go back and make a larger fold!

Sallygirl 6/23/09Great review, showing how you dealt with each thing, which is really helpful to me in learning to fit properly. Your jeans look perfect, even in the butt. :o)

donna mel 6/23/09thanks so much for the positive comments! i find writing the review harder than sewing the garment, so i REALLY appreciate it. i'm wearing the pants today, for the first time, and they are so comfortable. oprah did a show yesterday on 'fitting pants' and apparently a wider waistband is more flattering to the (thicker) waist...so i think i'll go for a 3" one next time.

Nancywin 6/24/09Thanks for the great review. I'm hoping to make these this summer.

Rhonda Noah 6/27/09Great pants, and a great review. They look great on you, so working on the fit paid off! I bought this pattern, but haven't given it a try yet. You've inspired me though, to move it up on my must sew list.

Athene 1/15/10Great pants. Thank you for all the helpful photos.

BaysicKnits 2/18/10Your pants look fantastic. I'm adding this pattern to my wish list. Thanks for the tips too. I think my shape is similar to yours so I will know what to take a close look at for fitting.

Cal W 2/22/10Great review - I liked your idea on the waistband, and the lighter weight fabric for facing.
