It's always useful to read through content from other authors and use a little something from other web sites. <br /><a href="http://www.precisionalterations.net/" rel="nofollow">tucson tailoring services</a><br />precisionalterationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402773441764693602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-62137636295625641732016-01-09T07:49:11.658+00:002016-01-09T07:49:11.658+00:00Like I said on your Instagram photo I think these ...Like I said on your Instagram photo I think these look really good. Although I agree with you re a flat front & just elastic at the back, I definitely prefer that on me too. For me, some brogues or ballet flats would work perfectly with these.

I think I swim against the tide in that I like a pleat or two, but then I do have a slight tummy to disguise ;) I do agree on elastic waists, however. I like them for comfort but not to be seen. So I think both these and the Marilla Walker skirt look great with a top over the waistband just as you have them. A nice change, and I would wear them mostly for work.Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-21866744750210484912016-01-09T05:49:31.048+00:002016-01-09T05:49:31.048+00:00I think they look lovely but maybe it is a differe...I think they look lovely but maybe it is a different silhouette from your ususl and that makes it trickier to put together an outfit. I also have a fear of extra bulk around my tummy so I have my own dilemma over this style of trousers.

(as you say, perhaps it's just slightly out of your usual trouser style). They do strike me as not especially winter-wear (but what do I know) - I think they'd look fab with a pair of plimsolls/slip on trainers in warmer weather. shivanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583851866935669111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-82990346250123246152016-01-08T16:48:50.195+00:002016-01-08T16:48:50.195+00:00Well in your photos these look great.

I want a pair of similar trousers, and used a similar Burdastyle pattern - disaster, I can only wear them as pyjamas because of the ridiculous amount of fabric in the front. I'm still looking for the perfect pattern...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399913597300937127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-76588421209207214562016-01-08T10:57:23.456+00:002016-01-08T10:57:23.456+00:00i think they look really good on you and with your...i think they look really good on you and with your ankle boots (in That London it's a look you see a lot and i can bet that there are at least 20 people in my office now wearing something similar) and they would look fab with trainers/ converse. i have to say i really hate elasticated waist anything - it always reminds me of the kind of slacks my gran used to wear. i am sure i saw a tute for making a straight front waistband with elastic at the back, but really struggling to remember where i saw it (sorry, that's not very helpful!).Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-88891539831383224702016-01-08T09:43:49.760+00:002016-01-08T09:43:49.760+00:00I've made an almost identical pair (dark blue ...I've made an almost identical pair (dark blue crepe). Mine have puckery seams, which I'm planning to try and iron the living daylights out of. In terms of styling, I would channel Jolie Bobbins and wear a pair of funky court shoes. I think that would show more leg and make the gap look intentional. I think that highish boots end up making the gap look like your trousers are just a bit short. In terms of summery-ness - the colour is fine for winter, just depends on how warm the fabric is (mine aren't particularly)Mirianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236111119718805934noreply@blogger.com
