Not gonna lie, I'm not gonna make another pair. The pattern directions were simple & quite clear, and the pant went together without a hitch. I liked the elastic insertion process as well.
But, I'm an Apple, & the style of Calder hides my slender legs-making me look wide ALL the way down to the floor. I think this style is best for figures with a very defined waist. What I found most puzzling, because your patterns usually fit so well, was the VERY long rise on the pants-I usually do not have that issue. I used your pattern size calculator recommendations, and the waistband came up to my bra band, while the crotch was about 8"+ down my thigh. Yeah, I could improve the fit, but if Calder still isn't going to enhance my overall look...so, not even gonna try. (At least the super wide leg means I can cut out a different pattern with princess panels to recycle the fabric.)
