Today we have another visit from Shelley<\/a>, our regular contributor from Down Under. She is here providing a fresh post to our How I Wear It<\/a> series. Take it away Shelley!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

No sooner had I made the Hollywood Trousers<\/a> in a cheap drill for a muslin than I found myself dreaming of a pair in wool crepe. It just so happened that I had some stashed away, waiting for the perfect pants pattern.<\/p>\n

Fancy, lined wool trousers deserve a fancy top, so I made a little metallic knit tank top based on a Guy Laroche Vogue pattern (V1399) to go with them. Add a pair of heels and I\u2019m set for a night on the town.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made no changes at all to the trousers. I think Liesl must have drafted them just for me! Thanks!<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

But.\u2026 If only I\u2019d had just a little bit more fabric I would have loved to copy these ready to wear trousers. All I\u2019d need to do is move the closure to being an invisible side zip, omit the waistband and make a facing instead, then add a sash. I can\u2019t get that idea out of my head and all I can see in my fabric stash is a wool crepe sized hole!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I dither and dream about fabric purchasing, I\u2019ll be wearing these navy, wool Hollywood Trousers to dinner, the theater, and every event that\u2019s not a barbecue or picnic.<\/p>\n

To barbecues and picnics I\u2019ll be wearing my cheap drill Hollywood Trousers, and with a T-shirt and sandals, they\u2019re pretty great too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
