OK, this is not /strictly/ historic - although I could argue they're
'traditional' ;-)
Anyway, I'm trying to adapt a Burda pattern to be more like traditional thai
fisherman 'wrap' trousers, which are open at the outer sides (and therefore
cooler to wear and hang nicely) and wondered if anyone had tried making a pair
based on originals they had purchased perhaps on holiday.
The thing I'm a bit unclear on is how the ties work around the waist, to hold
them up and fit them at the waist: the Burda pattern is a bit tailored whereas
the originals are 'free-size'. I found a few references on the web, in case
you've no idea what I'm talking about.

Anyway, what are other people making to cope with this seasonably toasty
weather?
