Excellent, practical pattern
I have to first confess that I haven't yet made up my Tilly trousers, but I am delighted with the pattern and the flexibility it offers to make a good fit to a person with the normal 'character' features that come with age (!). I will be making the trousers up in a waterproof fabric with a mesh lining for my autumn dog walks - this is my urgent make, as I am so fed up with not being able to find outdoorwear that has a comfirtable cut. However, I like the pattern so much, I am also scouting other fabrics for some winterwear. I'll give an update when the wet weather gear is completed.....

Excellent trousers for my fluctuating body
Such a great fit for my fluctuating body, with the flat front and elasticated back. Very clear and detailed instructions. I’ve been searching for a pattern like this for some time, so glad I found it!
