Hi all. I have recently finished a pair of culottes in a soft linen/cotton mix and the fit is amazing on me. I'm so shocked as I usually have to add/subtract cm, lower the bum, take out wrinkles, shorten this and that etc etc. I was wondering if I could just use the crotch and tum fitting part of the pattern to make an entirely different silhouette, i.e. a straight trouser? Because the culottes have a wide leg I was assuming that the good fit at the back was due to the excess of fabric under the seat but is that the case? If I wanted to change to a plain trouser fit would it work?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
