Dressy Denim Pants

I got some denim (97% cotton, 3% spandex) a while ago and have finally gotten around to making a pairs of pants out of it. Even though it's denim, I want the pants to have a "dressy" silhouette instead of the normal "jeans" look. To that end, I used a pants pattern that I drafted for narrow legs, low rise, pants (which I also used for the pants of my Halloween costume last year). (For instructions on how to draft your pants pattern, check this out.)

I decided on double-welted pockets all around. The two front pockets' outside end straddles the side seam a little bit.
