I have 3 meters of silk brocade that I bought in India sitting in my stash; you’ve inspired me to use it for pants.

As far as your pattern question goes, I think there is a difference between “slim” and “skinny” when it comes to pants. Slim pants look good on all body types, especially when the hem goes to the ankle and no further. Slim pants are not meant to cling to your legs like skinny pants are. I have wide calves and can’t wear skinny pants, but slim pants I can handle.

Very inspiring. However, does the thickness of the fabric . . . make your butt look bigger? LOL! I know, but it is a question I have. I would love a pair like this but can’t wear skinny pants out of ANY fabric. Do you think the brocade would be suitable for a slim dress slack pattern or does it need to be “skinny”?
