I've been thinking since being back from England that the major problem with American mens' wardrobes are loose fitting trousers. Hey, even my husband is guilty of it. I just love the (predominantly European) look of a fitted trouser with a pointier dress toe shoe. It's something you don't see enough of in America. Can't wait to see these in a fancier ($3/yard?) fabric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-52979477599029287122010-06-17T20:35:56.213-04:002010-06-17T20:35:56.213-04:00I took the plunge today, Peter.

And Mom picked up a dress in her size for a quarter that was missing pants. And while I have patterns for pants in 1-3 months, I didn't have any newborn sized ones, and she's barely out of preemie sizes, so I made my own. The fabric is a shade off and it's not knit like the dress is, but I couldn't find an exact match! Okay, I could, but by the time we paid for shipping, it'd be $20 for one yard of fabric which was a firm no. I'll rephrase. I couldn't find a matching shade of blue knit *locally*. <br /><br />I ended up with blue broadcloth one shade darker, and it should work. I hope.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717835382469677601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-9672527119207338692010-06-17T18:44:25.587-04:002010-06-17T18:44:25.587-04:00On a side note, a friend calls the catty girls in ...On a side note, a friend calls the catty girls in her Jane Austen class the Sharks and the Jets.

I guess the trick to this is just showing up on the blog everyday dressed in something (no matter how crazy-looking) you made. We kind of get used to it and begin to think a grown man should be wearing baby-blue skin-tight pants with a flower to draw your eyes to the prize just like he should be wearing a pencil skirt. It's all good.<br /><br />2nd, I think there is too much irony in the world now to ever watch West Side Story again. I was laughing by the second snap.<br /><br />3rd, I love Connie Stevens and contemplated for a moment watching the whole movie, but then realized by the end of the trailer that was the whole movie. <br /><br />P.S.

I'm all for men in tight pants, but the side zipper might make it hard to use certain male bathroom amenities. (i.e. the Urinal.) <br /><br />PS. No, I am not ready to take the plunge. I've made a pair of shorts before with buttoned side-openings, but I don't really like pants. I just don't find them very comfortable so right now it would be a waste of my time.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01057091660676756632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-76120035011837929602010-06-17T10:50:24.471-04:002010-06-17T10:50:24.471-04:00Hello!

It's kind of amazing how feminine today's men's style is - I've seen menfolk wearing pants like that while walking around the city, and I think they just went out an purchased ladypants. Granted, all of their pants have saggy butts as a result (we are just better endowed in the derriere department), which yours do not.
