Inspiration...Slim Pants

 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!
