I have this pattern in my stash. I made the short sleeve cropped jacket late last year (posted on PR). I pulled this pattern out, in the hopes of making the cropped pants. Yes they are elastic waist, but I want to start making some cool pants for the summer. The pattern says these are "semi-fitted", above ankle pull-on pants. Looks like a winner to me.
I purchased this pattern recently for the cropped pants. Hint, hint...the black and white view D. I would definitely add the front pockets to this version. Here again, these are also elastic waist. These appear to have a little more ease than B5000 above. I think it's worth a try.
Since I am assuming the pants won't take too long to trace and sew, I am now contemplating my next top. I have two patterns (recently purchased) that I can't seem to put down. First up, is this gorgeous Butterick 4811. I saw the sleeveless top with the tie casing at JoAnn's on display...it was cute! I would nix the standing collar and go with the regular collar.
The other top is Butterick 5025. Sleeveless of course. I actually like both the top and skirt together. Another wing collar to tackle. Yes, this has a similar collar application like Butterick 4659...I just reviewed.
Now to figure out what fabrics to use...
Be warned...I think I am in a chatty mood today.

Ohhh cute patterns!! I REALLY like the butterick lifestyle one!!!
Sure wish you lived closer! You could come over and chat with me :) . I shun elastic waist for all pannts EXCEPT capris and a skirt or two. I think because they're quick, easy, and care-free that way. Nothing binding and tight on hot summer days. Bring on those summer pants!
Adrienne...I'm beginning to collect the Butterick Lifestyle type patterns. I'm finding they have really cool looking "ensembles"...tops & bottoms that mix and match nicely.
Kat...I couldn't agree with you more about living closer and chatting about sewing. Can you imagine the fabric shopping field trips we'd go on? lol!
FYI. I think the pants have turned into shorts for the time being. It's faster to sew a pair of muslin shorts (and less fabric required). Plus...it's been doggone HOT the last few days :)
