Another make from the weekend. These are to replace a navy blue pair that i love but dont fit anymore.

It's the Helens closet Winslow culottes with an elastic back waistband hack.

Made in this super bold viscose poplin from fabric obsession june 26 subscription box

Excuse the creases as I've been wearing them all day at work.

I made them really long and i shortened the back and front rise by 1inch each.

Super swishy and you won't miss me in a crowd.

Im going to make another pair and do the wrap hack. Ill shorten the rise in the front and back by another inch each also.

These took me 3 hours 45 min to sew.

Love them! I've just finished a full-length pair in a lightweight navy chambray. As you say, a very quicky make and they came together beautifully however, I felt they swamped me so I've just shortened them by 15cms. Perhaps using a plain fabric was the 'mistake' as I love yours on you!!!

Thanks.

Im sure yours look amazing on you.

I think a chambray might have a bit more structure than a viscose so it might feel like more fabric?

The viscose I used is very drapey and although there is a lot of fabric it doesn't feel like it.

It feels like just wearing a skirt.
