Despite its name, suiting can be a surprisingly versatile fabric. When making a real suit, you’ll often add layers of structure to the garment, such as interfacing, interlining, pads, and regular lining. Because of this, a lot of suiting fabrics are lightweight and fluid, making them terrific for dresses and pants. Similarly, you can even bulk them up to be used for winter coats!
The pants shown above were created with Mood’s free Nasrin Pants pattern, with just a couple alterations. The short and slightly flared flood silhouette is coming back in a major way, so this version was trimmed to have a 25″ inseam, with a flare beginning just below the knee. I also moved the invisible zipper to the center back, instead of the side seam.
