Compare with another model
The Studio D'Artisan SD-108 is roomier in the thigh (+½″), shorter in the leg (−2¼″), bigger in the waist (+¾″) and fuller at the knee (+¼″). Straight vs Relaxed Tapered.
How the SD-108 would fit
- Easier through the thigh: better if you have athletic legs or sit a lot.
- Tapers more below the knee for a tidier ankle.
- The waistband runs bigger at this size, so you may want to size down.
- Shorter in the leg: less cuffing needed.
