JML Hollywood Pants: Slimming, Glamorous Leggings That Shape Your Waist

Product Information

I really love how the pocket lining creates a nice flat look and these pants actually hold my stomach in and give me a nice smooth shape. The fabric I chose is a bit too thick but it's beautiful and good quality- good for a fall/winter suit. One thing I think would really help the novice or intermediate sewist is more info on why the pattern may be adjusted and how to make the adjustments. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

I don't often wear trousers because I have never found a pair that fitted nicely and flattered my (slightly odd) shape. Knickers: Thread; six 1/2″ (13 mm) buttons; 1/4 yd (23 cm) of lightweight interfacing for cuffs and fly (optional). They’re slim for me, but may be considered “straight”; I think the tapered ankles breathe new life into my flats, plus I can use oxfords; tops all have to be out with these pants, but it is not too hard to remix or add some volume-tops. I really appreciate all the thoughtful instructions - there are little steps that end up saving you a lot of time I'd not have thought of, and while it walks you through everything as if you are a beginner, it's not overly wordy.

I am just learning to sort out some of these definitions and how to translate them into the fit of the clothes.

I still needed to take them in about an inch or two down the sides and I'm 5'1" so I shortened them 7 inches. Unlike normal leggings, where the waistband sits below the waist to create the dreaded 'muffin-top', Hollywood Pants are high-waisted for that hourglass tummy to give you absolute confidence and complete comfort.This pattern includes a traditional zipper fly with fly shield, back darts for shaping, and optional front pockets with menswear-style pocket stays for a smooth front without gaping or bulging. The Hollywood Pants are a classic fitted, European-style trouser with straight legs and a fly front.
