Here is a nice pair of slim pants for consideration:
This is the Melissa Slim Ankle-Cut Pants by Akris. Price tag: $895.00. Details: double-faced knit pant (wool/nylon), waistband sits across hips, straight hem hits at ankle, smooth front, smooth fitted legs, side zip. Additional detail for size 2 - 9.1" rise, 30.5" inseam, 39.5" outseam, 12" leg opening.
I love the look of these pants but for me they are far too narrow and close. I would use this pattern to create a similar look:
This is Love Notions Duet Trousers pattern. The tapered leg style would give a similar took without being quite so close fitting.
Mood has double-faced knit fabric available for between $18 and $30 per yard. You could make a closet full of pants for the difference between the RTW and making them yourself.
Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
