Custom made: swing pants

Hello sweethearts!

For a long time I dreaded of high-waisted pants, didn't think I could pull them off with my tummy :(
Ever since I can remember, even when I was  slimmer I had a tummy, It is just the way I am built so I had no choice but to accept it.
This spring I realized that with good compression panties I can try to make it work because I bought super cute H&M blouse and I really wanted a great tiki inspired look for summer.
I bought a pink 1.6 yards material, not sure what type but it is very light with a little strech and it doesn't wrikle, I love that it's so easy-care.
This is the pattern that my seamstress followed:

 

 

With a little modifications this is how my swing trousers turned out:

 



 

I wear them a lot in a various combinations.

 

 

And the best thing is they fit like a glove and costed me 30$ in total!

 

 

I will have to get myself at least one more pair for a colder days maybe with a suspenders for that genuine 40s look ♥♥♥

 

 

 

Love, Eleanor
