D.I.Y Flare Pant/ Vintage Simplicity #1426

Hey loves! I’m back with another D.I.Y outfit. The pants were inspired by my boo @jmilamila and the top is Vintage Simplicity #1426. I didn’t make this outfit to wear anywhere in particular but it’s giving me a Coachella vibe. lol The pants were drafted by me. I have a pattern pant that fits me well and whenever I make pants I start out with that and just modify from there. These pants are easy to make, they have no pockets or buttons, only an invisible side zipper. The only small challenge about making these pants is getting them to fit like a glove. The ankara fabric really doesn’t have any stretch. Luckily my pant already fits me good but I did have to do a tiny bit of taking in to make sure the pants fit snug but not too tight. If I make these pants again the only thing I would do is lower my waist about an inch. I didn’t realize it was so high until the waistband was on, and at that point I wasn’t going back! LOL! But it worked out in the end.

The top is a pattern I’ve had for ages, never used it until now. This view did have the option for removable straps but I decided to go without them. I cut this top in the smallest size which was a size 4 but I kept having to cut it smaller to fit my B cup. It has 3 buttons in the back and instead of doing buttonholes, I did button loops because the buttons are so small.

All in all I love how this outfit came out!
