Step 1Choose your base trouser pattern.
Look up some culotte patterns as a point of reference on altering the leg shape. I found that they generally have a straight inside leg, and it's the outside leg that extends out from the hip - in an almost A-line fashion - to give that voluminous shape.Redraft the shape of the trouser leg and shorten the length if required, as shown by the dotted line in the image.
Make sure to match alterations to both the front and back trouser legs.
-
Step 2
Cut your fabric (with the new leg shape) and sew up your culottes as the pattern instructs.
-
Step 3You should have a finished pair of culottes! See my other tutorials for instructions on how to make a detachable dungaree/overall bib to wear with them!
