Finished this pair after a lot of swearing! Love the look.

Used jewelry elastic to lace them up for flexibility.

My ideas to change the pattern around the butt didn’t pan out, so I went with the last defense of “put something over it”! Good thing Mom gave me so much crafting bits over the years. I never think to buy pieces like this when I’m out (and I’m kind of miserly).

And the big secret behind this pair is that the damn fabric is just shredding apart. I fully serged, interfaced, and zig zagged every surface, but I doubt they’ll even last another off and on the doll cycle. The inside leg seam popped apart when I put them on this time, it’s now being held together with a big stitch visible from the outside, heh. Well, I learned a lot at least. :)

Those are the coolest pants I’ve ever seen. 😍 My dolls are totally jelly right now. 💖💕
