Burda 7447

When I saw A Fashionable Stitch's  first pair of Burda 7447 pants and then she made a second pair , I knew I needed to make a pair of these.  I had the pattern, just needed some fabric to try them out.
Here are my pants

Here is the envelope

Pattern Description:  Semi-fitted Pants, probably more fitted than semi-fitted.
Pattern Sizing: Size 8 - 20. I made the 12 (38) which is what I make in most Burda patterns.
Instructions:  They were good, especially for Burda.  I even followed their welt pocket instructions, took a couple of read-throughs but I grasped the concept.  Plus, this is the first ever pant welt pockets, I have sewn.
Look they are even!

The instructions went in a nice order, easy to understand and follow.
Changes:  I made none this first time.  I think for the next time, I might make them shorter, like to wear with flats.  I did not add length and I need to wear heels with this pair.  I was getting funny wrinkles in the front, around bottom of the zipper.  I pulled out my fitting book, one thing they said was the hem was too long.  I folded up the hem and no more wrinkles.  Easiest fit  fix ever.
Also, I might use a size 10 for the back of the pants, they are a bit loose.  See if that helps the problem.
Fabric:  A stretch denim from Hobby Lobby, not crazy at all about the fabric or the look but it worked for a muslin, which turned out wearable.
Conclusion:  A classic style of pants. 

With a sweater, which looks okay.

But I like them best with a blouse

Two things after this picture taking session, I need to make more blouses and I am heading to cut out another pair.  This time crossing this pattern with Sewaholic's Thurlow Trouser and use real denim this time.
