Burda Style For people who sew

Wow, I really want to make these, but possibly with two button lines on each hip in line with the pockets so they look like sailor pants. I love how wide they are! Burdastyle keeps bringing it….

these are adorable!!! and don’t fear the high waist, even if you aren’t a size 2…I’m not , and I have a couple of pairs of the higher waist stuff, and they are really flattering (especially with a fitted top with short ‘poof’ sleeves)
they make your waist look teeny and the wider leg is really slimming!

can’t wait to buy this and make them for spring!!! what fabric to choose hmmmm…

I’m thinking I might try these and do a corset lacing instead of those buttons.

Just got my fabric and buttons…getting to work on these right now!

Just got my fabric…starting tonight. Think I’m going to try these exactly the way they are?

Very stylish and cute!

They look very nice, but I won´t get used to high-waisted jeans. I do still love hipsters and think high-waisted trousers are not comfy.

to grafixconcepts:they are fantastic, sadly and speaking from previous experience i can’t wear this, it’s not for the shapely.warning!!! but it’s perfect for someone that would like to look shapelier, it will make them look like they have quite a booty.

I’m not keen on the legs, I’m stumpy enough as it is, but they’d make a cracking pair of shorts.

I am so happy to hear that you all seem to like them. Here a few tips…
For pear shapes. Key is to measure well on your widest part of the body. Then choose a size that is closest to your measurements and either let it out at the bigger parts or take it in on smaller body parts. Make sure to have enough room in the hips, otherwise they loose the flattering shape. The pleats also tend to then stretch open and that does not look good. If you are worried about them, either sew them closed to keep the look, or eliminate them.
The waistband creates a great shape of your body and is really comfortable.
Since I am pretty short, the pantlegs are a little too wide for me, but you can easily adjust that to a more narrow leg.
Please post any further questions you may have in regards to the pants.

i’m ok with the pleats and the width, but there is something else not really my taste … i don’t like the buttons and i think i would put that hipline not halfway between the waist and crotch but higher, at 1/3 from the waist or so.

They look beautiful on the model! The curve in the back is lovely. I think that style would require being tall and having a defined waist.

I like these, I am a big fan of wide leg pants, but I don’t think those pleats in the front just where the hips turn into thighs would flatter me.

ooh I love those pocket pleats! What a fantastic detail!!

SO CUTE! Would they look OK on those of us in the “pear-shaped” category?? Opinions? Anyone?

I think it has realy potential, especially since the high waist is fitted like the bodice on a dress to flatter, rather than as they were back in the day… still not sure whether I could pull them off though. Maybe in the summer once I’ve gotten back into a little better shape. I love the shape of the pockets though, along with the bodice in the back they look really stylish.

I need to get them. love them. love those pleats. I think there is a good potential in it for making it either pretty or chic, or both!

I was loathing the high-waisted movement until just now. Amazing. I have to make these right after I finish Liz.

Wow, these pants are really cool. I’d be keen to try them with a normal waistline but keeping the pleats. Hmm, first I need to put a dent in my fabric stash so that I can justify going fabric shopping again…That may take a while.

wow… awesome… i must make the sabrina so i can buy another pattern! (wee little rule i’ve made for myself)

omg! I am SO excited about these! I love the waistline, but I’m not so sure about the pant legs though, they look a bit big. I’ll either take them in a bit or make a cute pair of shorts! ugh I just saw that they’re charging $4!!! We’ll see…

The pants look really good on the model, but I don’t know if I could wear those. But I’m definitly curious about the other members creations!
