      Hollywood pants
    Reviewed by Marina J (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/16/2022
    This was my first pattern ever and it turned out great. I watched a lot of youtube tutorials and sewed a muslin first for practice. I was between sizes and first went up a size but for the actual pants I went down to the zero and that was a good choice. I still needed to take them in about an inch or two down the sides and I'm 5'1" so I shortened them 7 inches. I took them in a little at the back too to fit my curves better. The 9" zipper was way too long, I used an 8" and still needed to trim it, so I think a 7" would have worked. I got a bit confused with the waistband and ended up using youtube for guidance. The fabric I chose is a bit too thick but it's beautiful and good quality- good for a fall/winter suit. But I absolutely love them now that they are done! I made them to match a top so I now have a blue/green power suit and they go perfectly with my cowboy boots!

    I have some tartan wool fabric ready to go. I am sure the pattern will be a success as previous patterns are - easy, a good cut and although of today are classical. Love them.

      Amazing pattern!
    Reviewed by Brandee (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/22/2020
    I consider myself an advanced beginner, and I was thrilled with the results of these pants! The instructions were clear and I ended up with pants that look store bought. The only change was shortening the pants since I am quite short. I really love how the pocket lining creates a nice flat look and these pants actually hold my stomach in and give me a nice smooth shape. Can't wait to make more.

    I have just made a copy from the original pdf, I like the look of the draft for the trousers. My previous experience with Lisette for Butterick and Liesl & Co. patterns gives me full confidence for the finished item.

      Great fit for a first time trouser
    Reviewed by Ronda Trevitt (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/02/2019
    I don't often wear trousers because I have never found a pair that fitted nicely and flattered my (slightly odd) shape. Enter the Hollywood trouser pattern, I made a muslin to check the fit and after a few seam adjustments, lengthening the leg to allow for heels etc I can honestly say I will sew these again and again. I've planned a pair in a lovely grey linen for summer at work as well as a lovely wool blend pair for winter, totally a winner.

      Great fitting patterns
    Reviewed by Elizabeth Louros (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/21/2018
    This was first pair of pants with a fly and fitted waistband. My measurements match the size 0 but I needed a little more room in the upper hip so I made the darts and back seam smaller than the pattern required. I used a black tropical wool I bought on Etsy, of questionable quality, and the pants stretched when worn so I could have used the correct dart size and seam allowance. But, these were a wearable muslin so good for the first time. They are very verstile style and I will be making more pairs. Next time I may lengthen the rise but am not sure how to do that or if it is needed. One thing I think would really help the novice or intermediate sewist is more info on why the pattern may be adjusted and how to make the adjustments.

      Hollywood Trousers/Stretch Denim
    Reviewed by Cheryl Lemmons (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/16/2018
    I made a "muslin" out of denim with a slight amount of stretch in the fabric. I went down a size due to the stretch. The only adjustment I made was to make the back darts slightly bigger to accommodate my waist/sway back. This is a beautifully drafted pattern and I can't wait to make it again. The only issue I had was with making the buttonhole due to excess bulk in the waistband. I don't believe I trimmed it down enough. I gave up and used a hook instead (which works fine).
