Oh yes yes yes!
This pattern came out just as I was starting to think about making some elegant trousers for upcoming events. The pull-on style of most StyleArc casual pants aren’t my thing because I have a very significant waist/hip difference (18 waist, 26 hip by the size chart), but I gave these a shot and LOVE them.
The usual minimal instructions are sufficient for my level of experience, but the expanded instructions include a full set of finished measurements for all sizes which was super helpful – I was able to make fit adjustments on pattern tracings and didn’t need any more after a quick muslin.
Love the curved waistband, high waist, and deep pleat look; I’d prioritize drape over weight when picking fabric.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review.
It’s great to hear the finished measurements helped you make the fit adjustments before cutting into your final fabric, particularly with the difference between your waist and hip measurements.
We are glad you love the high waist, curved waistband and deep pleats, these are key stand out features of Nala!
