I tried to post at your blog (didn't seem to work) but I really get where you're coming from that a pattern can (a) need a lot of work to get the "right" fit, and (b) still end up not being the right pattern for you. I think they look great on you, but a skinny style is so not me, I wouldn't bother to try. 6/21/12 8:41 PM
MNBarb said... Your review was a nice lesson in pants fitting. I don't know what they did to the pattern to get the fit shown on the website but it must have been drastic since every pair I've seen reviewed were, at beginning, a disaster. I also made a pair of skinny pants that will never be worn away from the confines of my home. Yours do look very good on you. Too bad they aren't your preferred style. 6/21/12 9:23 PM

Sew4Fun said... Great job on the fitting and final pants!! You have more stamina than me. :) I made one muslin of this pattern and tossed it, because I wasn't prepared to do all the fitting work when there are so many other patterns out there. Great review, thanks. 6/22/12 8:52 PM
