And, speaking of vintage casual, Wearing History's Smooth Sailing pants totally fit the bill, which is why I've made a second pair!
Having made a muslin for the previous version (dark green wool ones), I did no fitting changes at all, but...I made one little change all the same : I replaced the side zipper with buttons. Paired with my fabric - a beautiful yellow linen - I think they add a touch of fun and give the pants a nice summery look!

Here's a picture, hastily snapped by my boyfriend as I had just finished it! Not the best pic ever, but at least it shows that the pants fit, and you can see the button closure! |
On top of that, for - I think - the first time in my life, I've been wondering, before making these pants : what am I going to wear with them? As a result, I can wear these pants with something like 4 different pairs of shoes and 4 tops...Another great piece of "cake" added to my closet, then!
For those that are interested, I even made a tutorial on how to replace the side zipper with buttons, which I'll be posting shortly!
