My new pants are a combination of my original favourite pants and these wide leg ones with the waistband, pockets and fly zipper I love (which funnily enough looks flared in the photo). They ended up way too wide and so I took them in by 1cm on the side seam from the thigh area down.
At least I only picked out some fabric that was worthy of these stupid pants. The content is apparently polyester and rayon but it frayed like crazy and puckered more than any fabric I have used in years that I suspect that the rayon content is very low, if present at all.
I was drawn to the herringbone weave - it makes the pants look grey, but the fabric is black and white.
Based on the photos I have been taking for Me Made June, I think I am going to stick to only variations of a couple of my favourite pants patterns: Jalie jeans, Jalie 2909 pants for stretch and my Burda straight leg pants. Somehow I feel they are more flattering.
Too bad about the fabric content on these,but I really like the herringbone weave too and they have a nice subtle sheen. Experimenting with different shapes/styles is fun and definitely helps us to discover what we really like. Way to go on trying something new!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shannon - experimenting is a good thing (: Too bad about the fabric. I actually like the subtle flare on these pants.
