Pants: Colette Clover
Shirt: Bought it ages ago from Marshalls
Shoes: Etienne Aigner
My second pair of Clovers! I'll make this quick, since a) I have to leave for work, & b) these are pretty similar to the last pair I made.
Improvements over last time:
- Longer
- Pockets I can actually use (the last ones were super tiny)
- Better construction on the welt pockets
Still needs work:
- I think I need to shave off about 1/8" from all of the pieces, to account for the fabric stretching out over the course of the day.
QUICK FACTS:
Fabric: Stretch cotton sateen (shows every.single.wrinkle.) from AK Fabrics. Facings & pocket linings in leftover navy stretch from my Mad Men Dress, also from AK Fabrics.
Pattern: Colette Clover
Modifications: Done sallieoh style.
These are adorable! I love me some red pants.
ReplyDeleteI used stretch cotton sateen for my Mad Men challenge dress and that baby was wrinkled beyond recognition after wearing it to work for a day.
Thank you! Yeah - I'll probably go for a different fabric next time - I like the sheen, but something a little more wrinkle-forgiving would be nice.
DeleteRed pants are awesome! These are so cute and fit you really well. Great work.

ReplyDeleteGreat pants.. look great
Sorry to have not commented earlier...your pants are to die for! Can't believe they are handmade, it's the sort of fit you strive for and happy to pay good money for in something store bought. Nice job!
