Jennie Pakula said... 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. 2/21/05 6:01 PM
Tee Jay said... 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. 2/21/05 8:41 PM
PVA said... 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. 2/21/05 9:03 PM
MaryBeth said... 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. 2/21/05 9:08 PM
Lisa Laree said... Um, Mary Beth...it's the pants... sigh. ;) 2/21/05 9:34 PM
Rebecca D said... 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? 2/22/05 5:48 AM
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. 2/22/05 7:05 AM
AnneM said... I didn't realize that this pattern didn't have pockets! You are getting so good at fitting. Congratulations. 2/22/05 9:33 AM
Teri said... 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. 2/22/05 11:26 AM
CarolynGM said... I love the way your pockets turned out. I wish the pattern included them. 2/22/05 6:00 PM
Jennifer shaw said... Thanks for the review. I am hoping to eventually make this pair of slacks, too!
Your slacks look great on you. 2/22/05 7:59 PM
jlg said... Great looking pants Lisa. Great picture of the pocket topstitching. 7/2/05 8:34 PM
MaryBeth said... 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. 7/2/05 10:22 PM
Patti B said... I've got this pattern too and you've given me the inspiration to move it up the list. Thanks for the good review. 7/3/05 11:10 AM
MissRita_ca said... 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! 12/29/05 6:47 AM
