I was able to steal a few minutes today to finally take photos of my completed Marilyn trousers (taken outside in the 100 degree heat, no less)! I used a lovely brown herringbone wool/rayon blend suiting to make them - a steal at $6.00 per yard at Jo-Ann Fabrics. This is the first time that I've used a Burda pattern and, even with the limited diagrams, the trousers were pretty simple to make and I am anxious to use Burda patterns again! I'm really pleased with these and will definitely be wearing them often this fall and winter.
The only alteration I did add was to an extra inch to the length because I think the cropped version from the original Burda photo looks quite awkward:

Great work, looks better than on the Burda photos.
ReplyDeleteBurda trousers usually have a better fit than other pattern I have tried. Neue Mode, Stil patterns were the best, but that brand is gone now.
I was going to say the same thing... Your version (and pics!) look so much better than Burda. Looks great, and I can see this being worn in the Fall and Winter! Beautiful, beautiful :)
