Rats! I just got this pattern and was hoping it would be a winner. Thanks for your thorough, and in my case, timely, review. I think you probably saved me from a hair-puller.

gabrielle, don't be discourage by my review -- you may have fewer problems than I did. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about the off grain pant piece as that's really the only way to cut it out. I may be trying these again in a more forgiving fabric; the more I think about them, the more I'm determined to conquer these pants!

They look really cute. Would it maybe work better to put the side or center of the pant leg on the grain, and let the folded part be off grain, where it wouldn't show so much and maybe not pull funny? I like wrapped things and am too busty IMO for wrap tops, so this is an idea!

Well, maybe I'll give them a shot then. The style really appeals to me, and I some linen and a piece of crinkled rayon that might work. If it doesn't work out, I'll just practice standing on one leg like the model. People will be so busy wondering what I'm up to that they won't notice my pants don't fit :)

Thanks for the review. It sounds kind of deceptive of Burda to pose the model in such a way to hide the unusual fit. They still look pretty good on you in the photo.

Wow! I thought Burda's patterns were a "cut above," but you rooted out lots of flaws, at least for your figure and preferences. Excellent, informative review. I also understand your wanting to conquer the obstacles, esp after your investment of time to make it work.
