Samina from Sew Everything Blog highly recommended - Vogue 1411
Clio from Five Muses loves BurdaStyle 9/2010 #115, and suggested that I read her blog post of today because it's all about variations of her favorite pants pattern.
and
KS from Dressmaking Debacles added Vogue 9032 that she has made numerous times, and Simplicity 2700
- I added Vogue 1411 to my collection a while ago but backed off of it because of all the pieces. After reading Samina's review of the pattern, I will definitely reconsider this pattern.
- I have played around with Vogue 9032 as a muslin but wasn't quite satisfied because I need to increase the back rise. Other than that, as I remember, the fit of the muslin was not that bad so maybe I need to revisit that pattern.
- I did make Simplicity 2700 way back when it was first released and the fit was pretty good. On this pattern I wasn't use to working with the contoured waistband so I never made them again. However, I may just reconsider this pattern as well.
- I am pretty sure that I have the September 2010 issue of Burda Style so I might just take a look at pattern #115. I did read Clio's blog post and found that it offered a link to some great information on increasing the back rise that I am going to try out.
LOL! I guess I missed that question Ms. Faye, sorry! I may not have been of good use to you anyways because these days, I’m a leggings and Jean girl. Since I left the corporate world two years ago, my wardrobe has become rather casual. Good luck with you pants, I am sure you will do well!
ReplyDeleteYou make WONDERFUL jeans Myra. Thank you for all the support you have given me.
DeleteI've made V1411 a few times too! I think any of those are worth working on!
ReplyDeleteI think 1411 is worth my giving a try too KS. I think all of the patterns suggested are worthy of my consideration. Thank you so much for your input!
DeleteThis may be sneaky but it works.
ReplyDeleteI go to my fav store Talbot's, White house black market, Saks what ever. I purchase a pair pants that fit (all except the length). I take a picture of the receipt, as I always loose them. I then trace the pants with tissue paper. I don't know why but you can always find ready to wear pants that fit like a glove. Since I am 5'2 I have to chop a lot off. It sounds like a lot of trouble but its nothing like having a pair pants that fit. (if you try this make sure you get a pair with no Lining.)
This is a great suggestion Denise, and thank you so much for sharing it!
DeleteThanks for this post! One day I will get to pants. It is good to know the choices recommended to you for the future.
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome Vanessa. I've talked about pants fitting so much - I'm glad my readers have not grown tired of it.
