| Basic Pants |
On my website I offer three main options of custom-made trousers: basic pants, premium pants and deluxe ones. All of them are custom-sewn, made-to-measure, all of them involve measuring and fitting sessions before they are ready to collect. With any option you get all the benefits of garment made especially for you. What is the difference?You've probably guessed already that smaller price means less work to do, and bigger price - vice versa. If measurements and pattern part is the same, what I can play with is actual sewing, more options in details, or - technology.Basic option has minimum sewing technology involved. Elastic waistband, imitation of zip, only two pockets or no pockets at all.
Some more options for this original decoration. Now it doesn't sit on trousers but occupies top, and of course brings new style opportunities.
Trousers decor, option four. It really depends on what top you are wearing, but decoration can occupy it too, in plenty of designs. Here top is probably not perfect, white button-down would be better, but I don't talk about style on mannequin. There are people who would look best of all in this particular look. People who can wear high level of eclecticism. People who like to combine inconsistent items. Contradictory souls. Or just cheerful happy people who have real fun getting dressed every day.
Decor for trousers. We like sophisticated decor on tops and dresses, don't we? But what can be made on dress, can be made on trousers too. This is a part of Pants Magic philosophy. I've shown this fabric flower garland recently. Now I am going to show how to use it. I took this idea from the Threads magazine, as decoration for evening dress. Unlike dress there are much more variations when applied to pants. And you don't have to wait for evening, because on trousers in basic grey colour decorations look quite casual to wear during the day.
Pants decor. Option one. From the pocket down.
What I really love is uncommon and intriguing detail or two in common garment. Such as classic black pants. Of course they fit, of course fabric is nice, but that's not enough. I want them to make a style for me or my customer. Such as these free-form flowery inserts and leaf-shape beaded detail on the waistband. Flowery fabric goes well with the plain black, because they have the same slight shimmer, so they blend into one another a little. With dull black fabric it won't work. Cuffs are flowery too. They might be not very visible all the time there at the ground, but they when they come into sight, in brighter sunlight for instance, they finish my design beautifully.
New model - tulip pants. If there is tulip skirt, why not trying tulip pants? They look like trousers with the fly-off front panel, and this panel is gathered in pleats, like tulip skirt is. Idea of such trousers came to me when I've seen this fabric with wide stripes of tiny flowers, like garlands. I just couldn't stand the temptation to arrange these stripes or garlands in different directions so they can meet each other and part, and create diagonal lines, like lianas or other rainforest plants.
Another feature (unfortunately not seen very well on the photos) is that there is no left side seam there. Fly-off panel is one detail with the back part, so pattern of the fabric is not broken, and no extra bulkiness added. Last is really good for hot weather, bulky seams are really annoying in summer.
