High Waist Trousers Inspiration

Well upon closer inspection of my pattern collection I realised I actually had not one not two but FOUR patterns featuring high waisted wider leg trousers, my mum liked this style in the 70's. I also did a little web trawling for inspiration and found it in some surprising places (you'll see lol).

I'm now leaning toward a flat front style as I have always found this really flattering, also not too much happening around my waist isn't my tiniest part and dont want bulk around this area.
I think I'll show you what I'm liking so far then let you in on my plan of attack :-)

these are two of my patterns, the other two kept photographing blurry so i decided not to picture, they are similar style minus front crease.

I also really liked these styles...

These pants worn by January Jones are the same style as my butterick pattern

Now I know, I know Heidi Montag but lets put that aside for a minute, these are great trousers, (I actually really like this whole outfit) the back detail is really cool

Kind of like a corset hey?

And of course I had to show something with Katherine Hepburn , the queen of the trousers lol

So I think I'll try the butterick pattern, I'm planning to get started on a muslin today and share the process with you.
