That flocked denim is wonderful with your coloring, the blue brings out your red hair and that scale of pattern really suits you. All that contrast, color, and texture looks just right on your slender gams. Am heading to JoAnn's first thing tomorrow as Vogue's are on sale for $3.99 and i am hoping this 8859 will be in stock!<br /><br />fingers crossed, stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-61099541391168610032012-11-28T07:13:00.929-08:002012-11-28T07:13:00.929-08:00love these pants on you!!

Since I never tuck in shirts I've been looking for details that will show without adding bulk to my hips. These certainly fit the bill.

Couldn't ...I just sewed these pants last night! Couldn't stop 'til they were done enough to try on! I am short (5 feet, 1/2 inch), so I shortened the upper leg of front and back by 1 inch so the knee detail would fall in the right place. I cut a straight size 12 with the exception of the crotch seam, which I sized up to a 14. I am so pleased with the fit! My fabric is a wonderful organic cotton black denim knit--pretty beefy, but with good stretch. So to answer SEWN's question: Mine fit much like they look on the pattern envelope. A bit slimmer looking through the lower leg than Sham's. Might be the fabric; might be my legs! But I love the fit! Can't decide if I want to add the pockets or not. Will finish tonight and maybe take a pic.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164155208900797290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-10335284901143186382012-11-27T08:40:21.758-08:002012-11-27T08:40:21.758-08:00Shams,

I love the Style Arc pants, but V8859 is a fraction of the price. I want - no, need - a pair of pants with a cool knee detail. And let's be honest, I'm trying to convince myself that the Style Arc pants are unique enough to pay the price for them! birdmommynoreply@blogger.com
