I would love a pair of these pants in a really vibrant peacock color. If you need my measurements, just leave a comment. I would love to help you defeat boredom. 😉

Featured:  Stefano Pilati for YVES SAINT LAURENT

Explore volume and proportion by challenging conventional principles of tailoring for your Autumn wardrobe. Here is a great example by Stefano Pilati for YVES SAINT LAURENT, a ‘zoot’ trouser balancing a fitted cropped top. The pattern draft is a bit more advanced for those daring to try pleated trousers yet it is an easy project to construct.

You will need:

• Bottom-weight fashion fabric, 54” [137cm] wide **
• ¼ yd. [0.25 m] of fusible interfacing, 45” [114cm] wide.
• ⅓ yd. [0.30 m] of pocketing fabric, 45” [114 cm] wide
• 1 zipper, 7” [18 cm] long.
• 1 set of pant hook & bar
• Kraft paper

**A minimum of 3 yards of fabric is required for pleated trousers – for an average sized person. If you’re taller than 6′ – you’ll need 3 1/2 yards of fabric.
