Inspiration...Wide-Legged Pant

 Everyone needs a nice looking, comfortable pair of pants.  This one might just be it.


This is the Lafayette 148 Perry Wide-Leg Stretch Silk Pant. Price tag: $998.00. Details: Measurements - 31 1/2-inseam  43-inch outseam, mid-rise sits high on hip, elasticized waist, front ruching, full length, wide legs, pull-on style, silk/elastane, unlined, dry clean.

Not sure about silk being a day-to-day item but it is a great day-to-day pant style.  I admit that I chuckled at the detail of front ruching because it is an elastic waistband, folks.  That is what elastic does gather when relaxed with more fabric than the length of the elastic.  

Here is a pattern that may work:


This is Butterick 6742.  The pattern is for bottoms skirt and pants with various lengths.  This pattern does not have a super wide leg but does work for stretch wovens and work achieve a similar.  I would leave off the drawstring.

If you want a wider leg, you could check out this pattern:


This is Butterick 6860.  This pattern gives you a little more bang for the buck by adding a jacket pattern.  There is not a waistband on this one but you still get the elastic waist. 

Happy Stitching!
