The pants fit good this morning with just a little ease. I'm going back into the side seams this evening to take out that extra ease. I'll also adjust the back seam of the top to make it hug just a bit snugger at the hemline. It should be an easy fix. I'll get this done early this evening and that way both garments will be ready for their next rotation when the time come. You know me - I'm ready to move on...
Really enjoy your blog and you look so good in your clothes! Interesting background, what is your job?
ReplyDeleteThank you Peg!
DeleteThe outfit looks fine to me but you're the one wearing it and I'm sure you know best.
ReplyDeleteThank you; the pants felt too, too large in the hip area so I was compelled to make the correction. I just completed the job so tomorrow I can feel free to start a new project.
DeleteI LOVE the color of those pants! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThank you Adelaide! I love them too.
DeleteGlad you altered them - if you were not happy , you would not have worn them. You do look nice in the outfit.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Sarah!
DeleteYou look good in your outfit and I totally agree with you fabric can act so differently.
ReplyDeleteYou must forgive me Lori, I forgot to mention that these red pants were totally inspired by the red pants you made back in the Spring.
DeleteGreat looking pants! I need a pair of red pants, you've inspired me!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with them now that I've taken them up. Can't remember the last time I had red pants.
DeleteAgreed. I think the outfit looks great.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynn!
DeleteI think your outfit looks fine :) It's funny how fabrics can act so differently. I've even found the same fabric in a different colour can do the same thing. Strange! Very strange!
ReplyDeleteI agree Shelly fabrics sometimes take on a personality of their own.
DeleteAthough your outfit looks good on you in that picture ,we sewists are use to really great fit and when something isn't quite right , we feel it. I love your red pants!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Diana. My pants were so loose in the hips that I felt sloppy all day. Not a good look.
DeleteI really like your outfit too. There are occasion when I've had to do the same after that first wear. Sometimes I ask myself, "What happened? It fit when I finished it."
ReplyDeleteYou and I made the same top. I wear mine with a red and black pencil skirt. I'm thinking about making some red pants too. ;-)
I remember your top; it made me want a black top too. Your directions and those your post and pattern review lead me to were SO VERY HELPFUL in making this top. Now that I've tightened my top at the hemline I know I will get a lot of wear from it.
DeleteThis happens to me all the time. Straps fall, pants slip, nacklines become immodest. sheesh! You would think I would remember. Your outfit looks great-very professional but as if you can move around easily.
ReplyDeleteYep, I was moving around a little to easily. But I did fix the problem thank goodness.
DeletePretty outfit but I hear you on the pants growing larger. I hate it when that happens. Do we need to make them a size smaller if there is lycra content? Probably but that takes a leap of faith bigger than I have. I know you will get it all perfect.
ReplyDeleteI needed to take the pants in an extra 3/4" in the side seam from the pocket to the knee and that fixed them up. You just can't ever tell about fabric ahead of time as to whether it will grow during the day or not.
DeleteLove your outfit, I had similar problem with one of my just completed pant.
ReplyDeleteThank you Aminat. I know you will tweak to get a great fit in your pants too.
