I had heard wonderful things about this pattern and was so excited to try it myself. It absolutely lived up to the hype! I made a only a small, me-specific adjustment to the crotch curve from my toile and constructed the finished trousers in a non-stretch denim. I have received so many compliments on the finished jeans. I am excited to try these in a heavyweight linen and experiment with some wool twill with a few small adjustments (welt pockets, etc) for work trousers.

My first pair of jeans ever and they look better than store bought due to the excellent instructions. I've been on a quest to find actually comfortable pants for a while and these are it! I made a mockup to practice but even that turned out pretty solid... Needless to say new favourite pair of pants and I already bought fabric for more pairs.

Love Everything about DJ - product, presentation, how easy to understand & use… Been looking a long time for something this perfect in the sewing world. Thank you Daughter Judy!

I love these pants! They are drafted beautifully and are so flattering and elongating. I appreciate all the finishing details. This is my first Daughter Judy pattern and I will definitely come back for more. Like for others, my waistband came out too short. I think I followed the directions correctly, so not sure what went wrong. I remediated by adding an extension to the side of the button so it is not visible from the outside. Next time I will cut a longer waistband and trim any excess.

The overall shape is so chic and relatively easy to put together. The only slight hiccup is the waist band some how ended up a little shorter than the leg waist circumference. So I had to improvise a mini extension.
