These. They took my fancy. And I want to learn new things like invisible zip on these… I measured funny. I’m like a little log shape with big boobs and butt sticking out. And not at the best shape of my life but that’s ok. So my hips measured at size 10 and I was like size 14 … I did think to toile. Good job me actually! Used one of crazy fabrics I got of eBay in bundles, I was hoping if anything I could wear these at home. Like a wear at home wearable toile. But I digress.
I have seen so many lovely versions and even some super useful with adjustment and how to fit….
But what I did forget that this type of bottoms don’t suit me. I can’t wear chinos for example as they create empty air bulge on the front. Butt usually looks phenomenal (yes yes it blooming is) but the front is bizarre.
So I stitched them up, ready to adjust the at the back darts and front pleats and I put them on…. They were too tight in the bottom with hungry bum effect. And way too much space on the front, all the fabric and not enough body. So I have decided it’s not a good fit, shape for me and will take too much work that I am willing to put all the work in and then not being happy with fit anyway.
Instead I made this pin cushion. Stuffed with scraps, ribbon was saved from something too. Go great win for sustainability… but not a win for culotes.
I will have to figure out what trousers will look good. And will be not making any for a while I guess. Ah can’t win all the time.
Oh by the way if anyone wants this pattern get in touch!
