The size 12 with 1.5 inch length added does fit her but seems it would be more giving if I moved it a bit off the fold and dropped the arm pit a bit to make bigger arm holes.

It helps to see it for sure. I was going to try an even skinnier leg then the straightleg for an outfit for project run and play sew along, but I ended up changing it to a shorts outfit. I still want to try the trousers with the straightleg just as you did, for my son. They look perfect.

I was thinking I should start from the hip area and just skim some off the outside and maybe the inside. After rereading this, I think that *may* work.
