Once apon a time I have some lovely wide legged trousers, well, apart from the fact that they didn't fit around the waist, so I had to wear them with a top that covered it. Trousers with a wider legs, that is, where the legs fall at least straight from the widest part of the hips, suit my shape when worn with a fitted top. I decided to try Very Easy Vogue V875, view B, this would be my second attempt at sewing trousers. I bought some cotton fabric with a slight stretch to try out the pattern, and see if my skills were up to the challenge.
The pattern was reasonably easy to sew, I found them easier to sew than the tapered leg trousers as they did not need crotch adjustments. I did make some adjustments to the hips and waist at the side seams, this was easy to do. The crop-top in the above picture is from River Island.
I do like this pattern and I'm going to make it again in a fabric with a more fluid drape than the cotton, perhaps a crepe.
