elegant trousers, great patternThese pants fit beautifully and feel great on. They are very wide, but they don't feel like they overwhelm me - and I'm 5'2". The pattern, like all Liesl & Co patterns, is very well drafted and the instructions are clear and straightforward. I found them easy to make and lovely to wear. I already have fabric to make a few more.Was this helpful?Skirt or trousers?Fab pair of wide legged trousers that look like a skirt. I made normal size and they fit perfectly with no adjustments. They fit around the hips and then flow gorgeously to the floor. I used only 2m fabric( I have shorter legs). I used a viscose and it’s perfect. These are my summer evenings party trousers. I love them. This is a great pattern.6 of 6 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?From the Discussion Forums
