But I have revisited Simplicity 2477 and moved the waist up higher and added more to the centre front. What I have been aiming for is a pair of everyday pants with a slimmer leg that I can wear with tops over it.
Of course these aren't perfect, but I think this is very important to remember as you work on pants fitting, neither am I. I have a belly and a big butt. No pair of pants no matter how well I fit them, is going to make that change.
So that said here are some pants that are comfortable and are pretty close to what I was aiming for. I am happy. I must say that I am a lot happier with the waist moved up and laughed when my 25 year old son said how hip I was to have pants that went all the way to my waist.
Now here's the pictures:

Look pretty good to me!
I remember when pants were at the waist, it was a lot more comfortable for me in those days.
Ruthie :-)
Wait, I thought the whole point of a sewing blog was to post embarrassing pictures of myself on the internet! However, nothing to be embarrassed about here--the pants look good, especially in the first picture!
They look great! I think you have the fit just right. I'm working on pants fit too. I too, have a butt and a tummy.
I think they look very nice!
They DO look great! And, hey, where's the belly? the butt? You must have forgotten to post those pictures. These pictures show a hip woman of a certain age and grace.
You are very kind, and Martha please feel free to say nice things about my figure on this blog at any time.
Of course I will wear these with a top over them, but other sewers like to see the original, I know I do.
When a younger person calls you hip, then you are hip. That's such a great compliment to receive. Enjoy the pants.
Great looking pants. They fit you perfectly.
I think they look great. Sometimes it's harder to fit a belly and no butt. At least you have something to stop them sliding down.I get sick of hitching mine up :)
