I bought Sewaholic Thurlow Trouser pattern in June/July last year. I immediately cut out a muslin-which has been sitting on my cutting table since. OI!
Part of me was scared because pants seem intimidating and the other half was always distracted by other sewing projects. A friend of mine *cough Autumn* hounds me daily to get those biatches sewn up. Last night, I finished a dress for Ali and decided to start on the muslin.
I thought it would take me a few days, but gosh darn, these sewed up SO fast!
I need two alterations:
1. The waist band is a bit tight-let that out 1/2" or so
2. Extend the back crotch to remove the wedgie
My measurements compared to the pattern chart would be size 2-6-0.
Based on other reviews of the shorts, I cut a straight 0. The shorts hit right at your belly button, so base your size on that. Now, if you have thick thighs or a large boo-tay, you will need to do a full adjustment in that area.
I LOVE Lladybird and she did a Thurlow sewalong. She has a long list of great alternation links to help with all of your problems.
Here is her muslin party link with all the alternation websites.
