Over the week I've sewn together another trouser toile and a shirt toile, which you can see below:
Trouser pleats are usually sewn towards the side seams and not CF, so I'm not sure if they look wrong? Although this was part of the design. I might sew them the other way in my next toile just to see what they look like. I've inserted pockets into the seam with the pleat which i think is a nice feature. And I'm considering zip fastenings instead of buttons to secure the turn down.
I'm not sure the proportions of the waistband are working so I've been playing around with different widths:
I'm not sure any of these work. The top one is the best if any - just slightly larger than the current waistband. I'm rethinking the idea of a waistband all together - do I even need one?
The shirt is quite large so I've done a lot of fitting to it, especially around the waist. Also, the pleats in the sleeve are coming round the front which i don't think should be happening as they're distorting the hang of the sleeve - which you can see by the twisting.
