Good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-755005 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 04:00:14 +0000 Kathleen 755005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And JulieJohn you are too kind:P. How did you know I have been obsessing about the fit from behind and just last night fine tuned with a small, but critical, alteration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-755000 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:57:11 +0000 Kathleen 755000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your observations everyone. I do like the way this style skims the body rather than squeezes. Unfortunately I can't do heels, but I have my eyes on the Frye Harness 12R. I think they would give straight legs pants a little attitude! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754964 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:13:22 +0000 JulieJohn 754964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I just say the rear view is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754958 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:10:00 +0000 Anonymous 754958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job!, they are very nice looking pants...length is good ....high heel would look great for sure and you have a figure for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754826 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:21:03 +0000 Deborah 754826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look good. You have a few styling options with them a d they are a refreshing change silhouette wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754821 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:16:43 +0000 Kathleen 754821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Caro and Bionda. I appreciate feedback, especially since it's difficult to be objective when looking in the mirror.<br /> I wore these today rolled with grass green sude oxfords for a bit of edge, a grey t and black cashmere cardi. I felt casual but a bit polished, and was very comfy without resorting to yoga pants... haha! I am hoping this style can stand in for skinnies this fall/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754764 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:16:55 +0000 D'Ellen 754764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Admiring your sewing skills! I'm a fan of narrow-ish strait legged pants, and I like the length as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754696 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:51:23 +0000 Caro in Oz 754696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job - the fit is really good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754505 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:13:00 +0000 Kathleen 754505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ginny, thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely experiment with a shorter length, but one still good for boots and rolling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754499 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:09:00 +0000 Kathleen 754499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the very skinny only works for me, I've discovered, with very stretchy fabric. I do like the longish top (maybe just to the crotch level), with a shorter more fitted layer over (maybe a cardi or jacket), and I think this look works best over a slim bottom. These pants are my compromise!! I'd also like to try more tucked in shirts like Angie has shown! Hopefully these will work for that look too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754462 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:52:13 +0000 CocoLion 754462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm impressed that you sewed these. I love the way you have them rolled in #1. I too am sick of feeling encased in skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754460 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:51:13 +0000 Kathleen 754460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, these are the Stylearc (newish indie pattern company out of Australia) Wendy pant. The denim has a bit of stretch.</p> <p>Asingh, I always wonder about length... but with boots they are about right And I do like a bit of a break... it's a fine line! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754457 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:50:39 +0000 Ginny 754457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these, good job sewing them, wow.<br /> I like the straight legs on you, agree to just bring them up some </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754449 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:47:37 +0000 Karie 754449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit on these looks good. I sew too, and will often make my own version of a style. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754440 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:43:11 +0000 Asingh 754440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathleen, the shape is nice, just needs to be shortened? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754438 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:41:13 +0000 Kathleen 754438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Carole. I sew, so this is my version of, maybe, a "boyfriend" or straight leg jean. The wide yoked waistband, I hope, gives a little style. I can wear boots under or over. Is anyone else tired of feeling encased by skinny pants?? On the other hand, I do appreciate the lean silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754429 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:29:51 +0000 Carole 754429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the new trousers and they seem pretty versatile. I'm not an expert on fit and such things but these look really good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straight-leg-pants#post-754426 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:27:55 +0000 Kathleen 754426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My body type isn't loving skinnies (thighs! calves!). I'm wondering if the silhouette of these denim straight leg trousers are enough on trend. Mostly I wear tops out or half tucked... just showing the pant here. The hem circumference is 16.5 inches. I apologize for photo quality! </p>
