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. http://www.thiptop.co.uk/index.php?page=trousers-split http://www.thaicraftwarehouse.com/tcwProduct.php?fashid=9329 Anyway, what are other people making to cope with this seasonably toasty weather?
