I got some more pictures of the pattern I tested, which is releasing today: The Monty Pant from Daughter Judy.
Since testing, the designer has made the fit a little smaller overall and refined the zipper placket instructions, so you shouldn’t have any of the issues I did. Like I said before, I don’t think I would have picked this shape but I really love it. It helps that there’s an elastic-back waist and lots of room in the hip, but I also just like the vibes: a little 80s, a little modern I kind of want a corduroy pair now.
I just don’t wear office clothes any more so I styled these the way I’d actually wear them, but I think they’d really work with ankle boots and a button up, too.
Anyway, pattern testing was fun! Expanding my style horizons and getting to provide written opinions, what’s not to love?
