Notes So here are the finished trousers. Pattern was printed to my own measurements, fabric is denim.

I love the fit across the hips but was surprised at the length since it was supposed to be my size and I had to take at least 12 cm off the length to get the pattern to fit that way. I shortened the pattern before cutting by about 9 cm and then had to take another 3 cm off the hem and make a wide hem not to step on it.

Has anyone else tried this pattern ? I'm curious to know if it's only me. I have made other Lekala patterns that fit really well before.

    editadesena I believe that those pants are drafted with the idea that they will be worn with very high stiletto heels. I always have to take some length out.

    Congratulations! The pants fit you nicely. I use this pattern for linen pants. They came out very long indeed. So, it's the pattern, not you. ????
    I had to adjust the back part of the crotch. I also took in 1 cm at each front dart and 2 cm at each side seam at the waist and hips. I double-checked the measurements I put in when I purchased the pattern. They were correct. The inseams are a bit longer than the side seams. That's what happens when you start adjusting here and there.

    moi aussi je trouve que le modele vous va bien et moi aussi je n'ai pas encore essayé les pantalons de chez LEKALA

    They look terrific. As you say fit very well around the hips. I can't say about length issues, so far the Lekala patterns seem fine, but I haven't tried a trousers pattern.
