My fave is New Look patterns. Their tops always fit great; the bottoms either fit perfectly or they are a bit big but not crazy big.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-41160118319624330842008-05-26T06:30:00.000-07:002008-05-26T06:30:00.000-07:00Well, I didn't think of putting a grossgrain stay ...Well, I didn't think of putting a grossgrain stay ahead of time, becausei I wasn't thinking "waist." I'm going to try to get her over here today to have her try it on to see if there is a gap. If so, I may go back and either redo the zipper, or restitch it as Summerset suggested, depending on what it looks like it needs.Nancy Winninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291320098379550586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-4552159929623954432008-05-26T04:52:00.000-07:002008-05-26T04:52:00.000-07:00Regarding the zipper, can you go back and hand sti...Regarding the zipper, can you go back and hand stitch it a second time, thus strengthening it with another strand of thread? If you do that and there is room between the original stitches, can you place the second stitches between the first ones? Has she tried it on at this point to check for the gap? There might not be one after all. If you don't have to rip it out and you've already put the time into the handpicked zip, it's worth checking.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215142.post-33799137371412411262008-05-26T04:15:00.000-07:002008-05-26T04:15:00.000-07:00As I was reading your post, I decided the brown pa...As I was reading your post, I decided the brown pans would have been my choice -- if that pattern were my style. They do look roomy - even on the mannekin - but they look like great beach pants.
