Fabulous trousers

I love these!

Anyone else spend weeks procrastinating, putting off making trousers? Give these a go.

The Hollywood Trousers are described as very fitted, moderately high-rise, wide-legged trousers. The pattern includes a traditional zipper fly with fly shield, back darts for shaping, and optional front pockets with menswear-style pocket stays for a smooth front without gaping or bulging. There’s also an optional lining. But I didn’t use it this time.

Due to the in-seam pockets, I knew these would be impossible to adjust once made up so I had to make a toile.  I graded between sizes for my slightly thicker waist but by making my toile I realised I had to go up a whole size. They are very fitted!

Amazingly I made no further changes except to the leg length to achieve this great fit.

A great pattern with great instructions.
