Still plugging away on pants

Aren't these horrible pics? There's something about those wide-legged pants that just strikes me as odd on her. I really appreciate that Simplicity is actually using a model with some meat on her bones, but at least one of these views should show her with a top worn untucked, don't you think? Yes, I'm glad to see the waistline details but there's only two variations so we don't need five photos of tucked in tops. Whatever, and I'm probably being too critical. Apparently it didn't stop me from buying it or from making it my next project. ;-)

Yesterday I used my new altered pattern to adjust this one and was quite pleased with how few adjustments I needed to match things up between the two, and pleased again with how easy those adjustments were. A quick tissue fit told me I was on track and another quick fit of the pin-basted pants in real fabric was still good. So, I'm optimistic that maybe, just maybe, I've found a solution I can apply to any pattern. I'm hoping to finish sewing these today.
