Your review is awesome! I like your pants, I think you did a great job on them and the fit! I know what you mean about trying on RTW!

Congratulations! These are wonderful. I thouroughly enjoyed reading the entire fitting tale of these pants. Your determination is inspiring. I agree, you won't find a more helpful bunch of people than here on PR. Reading the threads you had some great guidance from some of the most knowledgable members. As you can tell, there often times is more than one way to get from point A to point B :-) I applaud your effort in the quest for pants that fit....................

These are great! I also find buying RTW jeans very frustrating and it is so inspiring to see your success! Thank you for sharing your story.

congratulations, these are great. I find pants fit very frustrating. You can make anything now. Your persistance paid off.

Thank you all. I'm more pleased with the trousers the longer I have them on. Yes, they're a bit baggy and not the style I'm used to, but they fit - and that makes up for almost anything!

Absolutely PERFECT, Lorna Jay. True, the fitting of these pants was a TEAM EFFORT, but you get to be the beneficiary wearer now -- ha! :o) They look GREAT on you. Look how nice they look in the BACK, too. :o)
