Whether it's a new pair of skinny jeans for going out in, or a comfy legging for a casual afternoon with friends, you need comfortable, easy-to-wear pants that will take care of your shape in all the right ways. The waistband is twice as tall as most leggings, wide enough to cover a multitude of sins, and as it’s double-layered, it gives a smooth outline without restricting movement or being overly-tight. A small number of products may require an additional postage cost due to the size of the parcel or other special considerations. This style is provided as a digital layered PDF pattern that allows you to print only the size(s) that you need.You need pants that make you look taller, thinner, leaner and firmer whatever the occasion, but keep you in complete comfort. Hollywood Pants are the high-waisted legging pants with a double-layer waistband that can make you look thinner, instantly, and transform your body in seconds. The cut, design and thought that has gone into Hollywood Pants means that those bits you dread showing off are totally taken care of.

I made a cropped wearable muslin without pockets to practice sewing the zipper fly then I used an 8 oz cotton twill fabric to make a full length pair. The rear is cut even higher than the front, which means the pants pull a sagging bottom upwards to look more pert and round. Shorts: Thread; one 1/2″ (13 mm) button; one 7″ (18 cm) zipper; 1/4 yd (23 cm) of lightweight interfacing for waistband (optional). It's definitely not slouchy in my eyes and probably the scrunch factor is lost because of the slits that allow the taper to bell out.My idea is that even though they're not the new "slouchy pants," these are a form of update on what I’ve got for work and is a style that still has some “legs” to it.

Coordinating thread, lightweight or featherweight fusible interfacing, coil zipper (9" or longer), one 5/8" button, one sew-in hook and bar closure, 1 1/4 yards of stabilizing tape or 1/4" twill tape, 1 1/2 yards of seam binding or hem tape. The pants have a waistband cut onto the front with a separate two-piece back waistband, front pleats, single welt front pockets and back welt and button/loop, partial lining. How many times have you pulled on a pair only to discover that the shape you're trying to hide is even worse? The double layer waistband compresses and shapes the tummy and waist to make the wearer look thinner, taller and shapelier without any loss of comfort.My only quibble is that i'm only 5' 4" tall, so the legs are a little on the long side - would be good if they did a cropped range as well! The only edges that could not be finished at the beginning were the curved bottom edges of the pocket bag and pocket stay, because they had to be sewn together first. Grab a pair of heels and your favourite top and you have a great outfit for a night out or add a dress and sandals for summer, the leggings will give you the confidence to wear something totally different too with your new figure.

I used a black tropical wool I bought on Etsy, of questionable quality, and the pants stretched when worn so I could have used the correct dart size and seam allowance.Suggested fabrics: For the Knickers, choose medium to heavyweight fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool or blends in broadcloth, homespun, or twill; also napped fabrics such as corduroy and velveteen.
