You guys, I am so discouraged with my photos lately. I probably knocked some dial on my camera out of whack or something that is making everything waaaay over-exposed. I look like the undead in these photos. Why is my skin WHITE? I took these on an overcast day. Argh!! Ok moving on.
These are the jeans from the very recent pattern Vogue 1573. I didn't even notice the jeans in the pattern at first. All I saw was the top. I am glad my attention was eventually drawn to this part, though, because these are great jeans! They are made of lots of parts pieced together, and the fit turned out very good with minimal fitting.
The fabric is a burgundy denim from Diesel that I bought from Sawyer Brook. It is sold out, but there are a few other colors in stock right now..
The only change I needed to make for fitting was taking in the waist about an inch. I also lowered the waist an inch for personal preference. I can't stand high-rise jeans. After lowering, these sit maybe two inches below my waist.
There are definitely wrinkles on the legs, but I don't think you can avoid that in skinny jeans, especially when the fabric has no stretch.
I think the back pocket placement was good.
Overall, I am very happy with how these turned out. I love the denim in this of-the-moment color. I could see myself making another pair in gray, but we will see. Definitely no time soon. They were quite a bit of work!
