Everything is on the Internet. Often you come across videos of how a small piece of fabric is twisted around a figure and in a minute you get a stylish dress or trousers, but they don’t show you how to sew something like this - you have to guess.
Once I saw how a trouser overalls twisted into a sundress in a second. I’ve watched it many times, but I still don’t understand what’s what, I feel like there’s a mystery on the surface.
The same thing happened with Thai trousers. I saw an Asian guy wrap a piece of fabric around a woman in a swimsuit on the beach. A minute later they were loose trousers, fluttering in the wind, which at the same time hugged the figure.
I found this pattern and now I sew such trousers every season not only for myself, but also for my friends.
It is important that such trousers are suitable for any figure and complexion.
To create a pattern, you don’t need any measurements at all, just the length.
It is better to take a fabric that is flowing; viscose, “butter”, and thin knitwear are suitable.
For cutting you will need 2 identical pieces of fabric. I took 95 (length) x 100 (width of one pant leg) for myself.
If you have a size 56 plus, then take a width of 120–150 cm. For all sizes, the indentation in the middle is the same. But for large sizes it is better to make 20 cm instead of 15 cm.
The seat height of 39 cm already includes an allowance for hemming the waistband. If suddenly this height is not enough for your figure, then you can deepen it a few centimeters.
How to sew:
1) Fold two pieces with right sides facing inward. I stitched the middle line. Now the trousers can be unfolded - you get wide legs.
2) 4 vertical edges were folded and stitched.
3) From strips of fabric 8 x 50 cm, I sewed 4 belts.
4) I folded the belt and sewed the sashes along the edges.
5) I hemmed the trousers.
In an hour or an hour and a half, a new summer item appears in your wardrobe.
How to wear:
- We take the trousers by the 2 front belts and tie them at the back.
- We tie 2 back belts in front. The semi-oval is between the legs.
As a result, the trousers tighten the waist, the fabric lies loosely on the figure, and the side slits are one on top of the other. Legs covered. Even if the wind blows, everything will be closed, except for the ankle showing.
All the best!
