I bought it in a sale from Fabricworm and I think they got some more in.

Everyone keeps going on about how cool and swishy it is to wear. I have to admit I’ve never got on with RTW linen much. It never seemed to fit me well, no matter how thin or curvy I was. But now I can SEW it! Woohoo! Continue reading “New trousers: Nani Iro Atelier Tapered Pants “I”” →
