The pattern is very trim fitting, which is one reason I really like it. This pattern fits Sophie perfectly in the waist, so no it's not a gathered type waistline. You don't need elastic in the legs like most patterns call for, because they're cut to fit (you can stretch the binding piece as you sew to make the legs a bit tighter). The binding strip is 1.5" wide, but you could make it wider if you want to turn the raw edge under on the inside; I don't because I usually use the coverstitcher. I think I wrote on the pattern that if you don't intend to serge/coverstitch the elastic you can add 1/4" to the waistline and then make a regular casing.Originally Posted by lasagefemme
