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.

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.
