My red pants are Vogue 1039.
This was my movie night look. My red pants have quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. And since I was going to a chilly movie theater, I grabbed my denim shirt. I was going to make one, but I happened to see the one I'm wearing in DKNY on DEEP discount. It would have cost more to make it.
But here are the patterns that I probably would have picked from:
Butterick 5526 - Which I've already made in white.

One of my faves! I have several in the closet and wear them till they are thread bare. I find I always buy them because I can't find the right weight denim to make my own. Any suggestions?
No Bunny, I haven't found any fabric either. That had been a problem. I bought some shirt weight chambray but it was lighter than what I wanted. But if I find any, I'll post.
I might have a solution-purchase 1/8 of a yard of the lightest weight denim you can find and wash it. There is often so much sizing/starch/whatever in denim that what you feel on the roll is very often a much lighter weight than it seems at first touch.
ooops-didn't finish that one! LOL!
Anyway, once you've found a good weight you can go back and purchase your yardage.
Loving this look! The red pants are gorgeous and if you can find a shirt that fits you so well and for such a fabulous price then that is a great day!
Thanks for the great inspiration.
I love the red pants. Went to our favorite store (Gail K) purchased some cotton rayon spandex to make a pair. They didnt have red. I selected royal blue. BTW don’t you love your hair?
I'm also going to make a pair of skinny pants in royal blue. And I want a pair in bright yellow too. And possible a nice wool skinny trouser in fucshia as well. I'm all about the brights this season.
Yes! I'm loving my hair so much!
Gorgeous Fabrics had a lovely 3 oz, no lycra, dark denim by a Japanese manufacturer that was "to die for". I only bought 3 yards and wish I'd bought 12. Maybe Ann can get more.
Love your red pants!

Thanks for the post. I have a cute denim shirt that I adore from a few years ago but I seem to struggle with wearing it. This gave me some ideas for an old favourite.
I'm a sucker for pencil pants myself. You look fabulous!
I absolutely love denim shirts. They don't every go out of style. I had a poet style denim shirt years ago and if it hadn't gotten a stain on it, I'd probably still be wearing it. Thanks for the birthday wishes.
OMG! You are truly DIVINE!!
I love that color combo! You look great!
LOVE THE HAIR!!!!!
