These pants were my first attempt at doing a fly front, I followed the tutorial however I found the information a little lacking. I was glad I had experience under my belt. My advice is do not rush this section take your time.
My measurements are a size 12 and I would say the pattern is true to size. I did remove 3/8″ from the side seams from just above the hip and tapered in just below the knee as I prefer a slimmer fit.
I made these from a fine wool suiting fabric. I like them and wear them with confidence but I will seek some advice from the Facebook group as there appears to be excess fabric from the back which sits out on the sides, giving a slight ballooning effect and makes the side seams move slightly forward (I am sure no one else will notice) I am just not confident with what alteration to make when I make my next pair.
They are very flattering.
