Thanks for the review, Lisa. I've made her other pants in the Couture style, and it's actually a lot easier, although more time consuming. You feel you have more control over the final result! I like the look of your pants so I think I might get hold of the pattern too.

Lisa-I couldn't figure out the zipper either, everytime I need to do a fly zipper I go to the Threads site and watch Sandra Betzina. If they ever take it off line I'm dead! I've only made a muslin, but like to fit so far. Yours look very nice.

Beautiful pants, Lisa, & I really like the zipper in the pocket! Best place in the world for it, I'll have to try it! Thanks for the review.

Wow, I almost missed this one. You've lost weight or else the pants are just doing a great job of looking outstanding on you. Thanks for the review.

Um, Mary Beth...it's the pants... sigh. ;)

The pants look great on you, thanks for such a thorough review. I have this one, why am I not doing it? What figure issue did cutting out the front crotch point at size 12 solve?

Lisa Laree said...
Rebecca, I have noticed a tendancy for Vogue patterns to be too deep in the front crotch for me...it causes some weird pulling, so cutting it shallower reduces it. I get along much better w/a shallow front crotch curve and and a deep back crotch curve; not sure why it matters where on the curve the inseam falls, but it does.

I didn't realize that this pattern didn't have pockets! You are getting so good at fitting. Congratulations.

Great looking pants! I have wanted to try this pattern, but I thought the waist looked high. On you the waist looks just right. Maybe it is time to dig this one out of the stack:) Thanks for the great review.

I love the way your pockets turned out. I wish the pattern included them.

Thanks for the review. I am hoping to eventually make this pair of slacks, too! Your slacks look great on you.

Great looking pants Lisa. Great picture of the pocket topstitching.

I've got the pattern, I've got the fabric, I've got to get to it! These look great. I've been dreaming of a white pantsuit so I'm really happy that one of us has produced it. Perfect.

I've got this pattern too and you've given me the inspiration to move it up the list. Thanks for the good review.

I really liked your zipper in the pocket slide show. Very educational for me. I plan to make these pants. I hope they come out as nice as yours!
