Wide Leg Polka Dot Pants ~ Vogue 1661 Pattern Review
I love the look of a maxi skirt, but I also love the comfort of pants. Which is why I think my new pants are just about perfect. How wide you ask? Very wide! Like 54" at each hem wide! The pattern is Vogue 1661 , described as very loose fitting, flared pants with raised waistline and side seam pockets. I hadn't read the description, and couldn't figure out why A and B were different views. Turns out A has a fly front opening and pleats that are topstitched in place, and B has an invisible zipper in the back with no topstitching on the pleats. IMHO it feels like an attempt to provide two different "views" to justify the high cost of the pattern. Fortunately I purchased it on sale ($6.99 plus shipping) from the website. Another odd thing about this pattern is the sizing. All sizes are included in the envelope, but the sizing is S, M, L, and XL! I understand that for a loose fitting pant with a partial elastic waist, but one with pleats and a zipper?!? ...
