After a tutorial with my tutor I began to ‘grow on’ the stirrups to the standard legging pattern. Following adapting the pattern I manufactured a sample of the ankle and stirrup to test the pattern.




These adaptations were accurate so I manufactured the whole leggings to test the whole garment. The garment now has an accurate fit and looks appealing.

I manufactured the tailored trouser toile.

Upon construction I realised that the garment was high-waisted rather than on the hip. I reduced the waist to take them down, closer to the hips. They were also too long and too wide so I made the appropriate pattern amendments.

After re-tracing the pattern blocks, I manufactured the modified toile.
