Outfit #2 - Toile

I've now done the toile for my trousers for the second outfit. Since I was looking at saris when designing them I wanted to add extra free flowing material. I was original going to have it wrap the whole way around the trousers but once I pinned it it was too restricting so I changed the design to just one strip. I also found that it was too heavy so was dragging the trousers down !
 
The trousers are high waist with a fly zip and shallow waistband. I wanted them to be sleek so the top becomes the 'stand out' piece. I have taken pictures of the whole outfit but not when I had the waistband attached, so this first picture shows the waistband attached which obviously makes them a lot neater.







 
 
 

I really like this outfit as a whole and I think once I've chosen the material it could look really good. Now that I have my toiles finalized I need to update my working drawings and draw my fashion illustrations.
