I was really nervous posting these. Sewing is certainly not one of my strengths and I make sure I took the time and did them properly and carefully. </p> <p>Angie, I can't believe the pants are a 10!!! Thank you for chiming in. I really want to try this look but slouchy pants haven't arrived on our shores yet.</p> <p>Parsley, Shannon &amp; Aida, I actually studied each of your slouchy pants posts before I started on these. Having the visuals makes such a difference. </p> <p>These pants don't have the pleats at the tummy and that was one of the things that attracted to me to them as I know for me the pleats will make me very self conscious of my tummy, and then I remembered that Parsley wore here tops over her pants so I figured these might work.</p> <p>So once I work out how to style them (I have one outfit idea already) I will post them as part of a 'proper' outfit.</p> <p>Thanks again, I so appreciate your feedback. xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621574 Wed, 16 May 2012 23:19:29 +0000 Aida 621574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yay from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621510 Wed, 16 May 2012 21:45:55 +0000 catgirl 621510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the color and the fit!

(but you probably could have guessed that)</p> <p>I'm honored to have you following my lead; usually I'm following yours- you have such fantastic style!</p> <p>I just love what you've done with those pants, and can't wait to see how you style them. I would wear those in a heartbeat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621132 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:55:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 621132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You clever thing you! You have made these pants into perfect slouchy, perfect length trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621120 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:46:53 +0000 Angie 621120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These trousers are a 10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621036 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:28:04 +0000 MNsara 621036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ankle opening looks perfect to me. but I agree that the lower leg should be narrowed more. </p> <p>I wonder what happends if you DO pin up the hem and get rid of some scrunch -- so the calves can hang rather than blouse?</p> <p>Fun pants and don't you just love repurposing perfectly good pieces :-)</p> <p>I did wonder about not seeing the slouchy top part. I usually think of that as part of the slouchy trouser look. But I should go look up Parsley's thread. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621013 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:52:39 +0000 Deborah 621013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point CF:)</p> <p>Claire thanks! I studied Shannon and Parsley's slouchy pants and followed their lead:). I haven't sewn for years but I'm keen to be able to do some of my own alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621010 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:47:36 +0000 Anonymous 621010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you have a good eye Deborah (and a good hand with your new machine!). I think you did a really good job with the tapers and the slouch looks about right to me. The length seems perfect as well. Let's see what Angie says. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621007 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:40:34 +0000 cinnamon fern 621007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color, and the length looks good to me. I wonder though if they should be a little more tapered through the calf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621001 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:30:48 +0000 Deborah 621001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia:). I plan to wear fitted tops over the pants, covering the tummy. A little like Parsley has done with hers. These are smooth and fitted over the tummy, not pleated like a true slouchy pant:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-621000 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:27:37 +0000 Jaime 621000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is excellent. I think the part you tapered and the scrunch look great. I just can't tell what is going on with the top part because they are covered with the top. So it depends on how you will style them and where your top falls - but they do look promising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-620993 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:15:40 +0000 Deborah 620993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya! I just put these shoes on for the photo. If the pants work then I will seriously consider how to style them:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-620990 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:14:17 +0000 Tanya 620990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants and think they totally work. I would also pair them with some daintier/higher shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-620971 Wed, 16 May 2012 11:32:11 +0000 BlondeAmbition 620971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I love slouchy pants and I wish I could pull them off, maybe when I'm skinnier one day! I do have to say though that the shoe throws me off, my eye needs a stiletto and a tailored top with it to work. But kudos on the bold color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-620960 Wed, 16 May 2012 11:12:12 +0000 lyn67 620960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your sewing skills! Slouchy pants are so new to me Deborah and totally out of my comfort zone, so I guess I'm not much of help, but love the colour---and will pay attention on what others say for this topic, as I always come here to learn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-slouchy-pants-yay-or-nay#post-620958 Wed, 16 May 2012 11:06:18 +0000 Deborah 620958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Sorry I've not been around much the last couple of days. Work and family commitments have kept me of line :(</p> <p>I need your advice. These pants are Howard Showers in a pure wool ( not to heavy but Autumn / Winter weight pants).</p> <p>Do these work? Is there too much scrunch at the ankle? Pls note these are not styled and it's just the pants I need your feedback on:) </p> <p>These were more of a wide straight leg but I have tapered the leg (my second project on my new little sewing machine). Oh and the pants were thrifted so no loss if I am in fairy land and these don't work at all.</p> <p>Your honesty appreciated. </p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
