It's reasonably simple as there are only four pieces to it, left and right of both front and back, and then I adjust before I cut the fabric to make them more straight/ more flaired / tighter / looser etc.
I will admit I haven't had as much luck making men's trousers as I have making ones for me. Of course, any sewing shop will have proper paper patterns, ranging from the simple to the complicated, depending on what you need. |

I use sewingpatterns.com to buy my patterns from; they perpetually have sales on so are very cheap, and the patterns tend to arrive quite quickly despite being from the USA. |

Quoted for truth ¬_¬ Generally, I just use an old item of clothing that is similar and either unstitch it and use that as a pattern, or just make the pieces by eye (not advised LOL although Efia is talented with that!) __________________ CosplayIsland Staff Member |

I am cosplaying Nabooru, http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/costume/view/1206 They look similar to Disney's Jasmine trousers. i am unsure if they have a perticualer name, but i just cannot seem to find them for sale... You guys got any suggestion? Thanks XD __________________ Oki Doki Loki~ |

| Sands Joined: 25 Jul 2007 Posts: 140 | ok i strongly suggest that for any pattern you go to this rather wonderful site
http://www.habithat.co.uk/ they supply most pattern companies products, i have a personal preference for "simplicity" as the title suggest they usually are simple, and they have quite a wide range of costume patterns that are REALLY handy. The site has a section for really easy patterns which is probably good for if youve never used any patterns before, http://www.habithat.co.uk/index.php/cPath/361 For the baggy trousers, I actually have a similar pair im working on at the moment and I baught this pattern http://www.habithat.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/5433 its for a belly dancing costume, Im particularly fond of these costume patterns as you get an entire outfits patterns, so youve also got a pattern for a skirt, waist clincher, shirt, bikini top, and waistcoat all in one! There all really quite cheap and as Mike said patterns really are great value for money. I hope this has helped some what. __________________ My God. Its full of stars |
