well, I finished the muslin for the pants (burda 8411). It wasn't that hard to put them together, the chica at Poppy's was right. They fit well in the waist and hips and even through to the middle thigh. I am going to make the waistband taller though, and I have to add some pockets w/flaps in back.
Sadly, below mid-thigh, they are just too wide-legged for both my preference and my stature. So, now I have to figure out how to make the pants more narrow in the leg. I put an APB out for the threads mag that has the pants fitting advice, so hopefully that'll be a cinch once I see the magazine. The Vogue Fitting book doesn't have any suggestions for narrowing the leg unevenly (i.e. starting mid-leg).
I'd post a picture of my flattering see-through muslin pants, but I don't have the camera here right now.
