wanting to find a pattern for arbian puffy pants

[Anna Iram]

The picture does make them look very stiff and straight, not loose and flowey like I think of harem pants. Maybe it's the fabric they chose?

Here's another site that might help:

I think they should have more width in the lower part to get the right look. Like these:

The ones in the patterns seems to modern, somehow... or is it just me?

S5359 is like that.

I think the fact they are showing silky pants makes them look more modern I am not really a fan of using silk I using cotton more myself but yeah the picture you were using totally what i am thinking i want

I certainly think I want to get my hands on several of those patterns

1.Duriyya's Djellaba
2.Etiya's Etek
3.Al-Zahra's Ghawazee Coat
4.Parveneh's Panels

I really like coats and cloaks mostly since a god portion of the faires I go to are in the cooler months lol although the one that is running right now its like in the 70's which is odd for October I think. Not to mention a lot of this stuff could be used at SCA events to which is appealing as hell since I do both.

Yes, I just made the Al-Zahra's Ghawazee coat pattern. I resized it down for my granddaughter and up for myself. I posted a pic in the thread about that pattern. It's a pretty easy pattern to work with.

[Anna Iram]

Forgive me for hijacking Kala's thread just a bit, but Lady L, I'd love to see the coats you've made. In which thread did you post it? I can't seem to find it.

I would also like to see the up size for you.  Do you have a pic?

[Lady L]

Thanks for looking up the right thread, Dinobabe!

Yes, I have one pic with me, that was ok, but I haven't uploaded it to photobucket yet. I will try to find it for you.

I used striped cotton Damask that I bought on sale, when our Walmart was going out of fabric, for mine. I also made the longer split sleeves for mine.

Here's the photo of myself and my granddaughter, wearing the ghawazee coats I made this year.

[Lady L]

Not a good photo of me, but you can see the sleeves a bit better.

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Lady L, both pictures are beautiful!  I love the outfits you made for both of you.  They are so pretty and look very comfortable.  Great job!

[Lady L]

Thank you, Lady Renee! We appreciate your kind compliment.

[Dinobabe]

And you went to the trouble of flying to the Middle East to take that picture.  Wow!

[kala83]

you do look wonderful lol totally makes me look forward to working with the pattern now.
its amazing how much faire has inspired me to begin sooo many new sewing projects.
its nice to hear the pattern is easy to work with.

[Anna Iram]

LOL, Lady L, awesome pic! Really like the fabric, and what a fun outfit to wear to Faire!

Looking forward to seeing your creation Kala.
