Two pairs of Regency man's long trousers by Antonia

Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec costume challenge - two pairs of long trousers

I made two pairs of man's long trousers using Butterick 3648, one beige and one navy blue.

First, I made a mock up. At the same time, practised on doing the plackets. I put lining to the front, an idea from a historical pattern. One lesson learned from doing the first one was to put buttonholes onto the plackets before attaching them to the pants. It was just too difficult to do the buttonholes on the plackets by machine after the pants were fully constructed.
