Queen of Mayhem: Athletic Inspired: Track Pants

After drafing a pair of lace trim shorts it was clear what my next project was: track pants or as some call them, joggers. One of this year’s hot new runway and street style pieces, track pants are equal parts sporty and chic. They are perfectly sophisticated with a blazer and completely cool and comfortable with a pullover or silk tee. After starting my pattern drafting I found a gorgeous pair of silk charmeuse joggers. I needed them but not for the $298 retail.

So I kept on drafting and decided to try my pattern in some black crepe fabric I had. The result was wonderful! The crepe is the perfect amount of weight to feel substantial and ethereal lightness to make it them the most comfortable pair of pants I have. The waist and ankle bands are made of a soft black jersey. The waist also has a crepe drawstring and is elasticized. I also used couture French seams because I think the insides of a garment should be as beautiful as the outside! Awesome? Yes. Plus, I got compliments on the first day out in them so I really can't complain. I still plan to make a pair in either satin or silk charmeuse. :)

While I will be holding on to my pair (tightly) I have enough fabric to make more so pop over to my shop and get a look!
