Handmade High Waist Pantaloon Pants- Rare 1940s Seersucker Cotton and Antique Crochet Trim

Handmade High Waist Pantaloon Pants- Rare 1940s Seersucker Cotton and Antique Crochet Trim

Story Time: The seersucker cotton fabric I got from a lady who was cleaning out her family's farm house that had set derelict for decades. She found this fabric in the cupboard, and it were never used and still had the original brand sticker on it, in a previous life it was bed sheet and a wedding present to her grandparents who married in 1949, moved into the farm house, and apparently had no use for it until it was found 77 years later.

These pants are made from vintage seersucker cotton fabric that I have added an antique crochet trim to.  I would say this is a light  weight fabric. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :).
