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.For the Shorts, choose soft or slightly crisp, medium-weight fabrics such as wool challis, cotton, linen, rayon, or blends. Hollywood Pants are the high-waisted legging pants with a double-layer waistband that can make you look thinner, instantly, and transform your body in seconds.

Knickers: Medium to heavyweight, soft or crisp fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool or blends in broadcloth, homespun, twill.Suggested fabrics: For the Knickers, choose medium to heavyweight fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool or blends in broadcloth, homespun, or twill; also napped fabrics such as corduroy and velveteen.

Not only is the style flattering and changeable with small tweaks, but the pattern is so well drafted my first pair was perfect.
