I will show, at the request of one of the blog readers, how you can create a pattern for pants with a dropped crotch. Another beautiful name for such pants is “Aladdin”, or “harem pants”, or simply put, pants with a low waist.

How to cut such pants, and do you need a base pattern for this?

Construction

Constructing an Aladdin pattern is more like constructing a pattern than constructing one.

Let's draw a vertical line with its vertex at point T.

From point T, horizontally to the left and to the right, set aside 1/2 of the half-circumference of the waist and place points T1 and T2. T1T2 = St. Segment T1T2 - estimated waist line.

Next, we set aside 18 - 20 cm from point T down and set point TB, or according to the formula TB = Dts/ 2. Draw a horizontal line through point B. On this straight line from point B, horizontally to the left and right, we lay 1/2 of the line of the hips and place points B1 and B2. B1B2 = Sat.

From point T down vertically we set aside the length of the crotch seam (in this case it is 45 cm) and set point W. We draw a horizontal line through this point. We got the so-called step line.

Now from point T1 and from point T2 to the step line we draw two arcs with a radius equal to the length of the trousers (I took 82 cm) and get points Ш1 and Ш2.

Now we connect point T1 with point Ш11 and point T2 with point Ш22. Lines Т1Ш11 and Т2Ш22 are the side seams of our panties.

We will also connect points Ш1 with Ш11 and Ш2 with Ш22. Lines Ш1Ш11 and Ш2Ш22 are the bottom lines.

Since our pants have a low waistline, we put 2 - 6 cm down from point T and set point T0 and draw a horizontal line through it. And at the intersection of this line with the side seams we put points T11 and T22. Line T11T22 - waist line of the pants. You can round it a little by stepping back 1 cm from points T11 and T22.

You noticed that we did not use points B1 and B2, why did we build them?

The fact is that the side seams will not always be located so far from these points.

If, for example, we take ТШ = 60 cm, and Т1Ш11 = 70 cm, then the side seams will be located closer to points B1 and B2.

The main thing is not to narrow your trousers along the hips. But in this case they look more like a skirt.

Here is another example, in which points B1 and B2 are located on the side seams:

In this example we cut a little differently. We connect point T1 with point B1 and continue this line down. Likewise on the other side. Connect T2 to B2 and continue the line down.
We put points Ш11 and Ш22 on these lines. Segments T1Ш11 and Т2Ш22 are equal to the length of the trousers on the side.
If you have trousers with a lowered waistline, then we set the length of the trousers from points T11 and T22.

Now from points Ш11 and Ш22 we restore perpendiculars to lines Т1Ш11 and Т2Ш22, respectively. And on these perpendiculars we lay down the segments Ш11Ш1 and Ш22Ш2 equal to the width of the trousers at the bottom.
And we connect points Ш2, Ш and Ш1 with a smooth curve.
Lines Ш2Ш and Ш1Ш are the instep seams of our panties.

The belt in Aladdin pants, as a rule, has an elastic band and is cut out in the form of a rectangle. The bottom of the trousers, or rather pants, can also be made with an elastic band or a cuff.

These are such comfortable bloomers. You can sew them from knitwear, silk, or even cotton. Excellent clothing for home and sports, as well as for a party and a walk around the city.

This morning I met an acquaintance. Unfortunately there was little time to chat. While she cheerfully buzzed to me about her hard life, I involuntarily glanced sideways at her area, which lies below the navel. In short, pants. Something like this:

I had seen such pants before, but now I met a friend who wears them herself. Funny, funny. I don’t understand, are they really stupid or what? After all, they disfigure the natural beauty (if there is such a thing) with such fashion. What to look for? Neither hips are visible, nor, excuse me, butts. Complete bad taste! I immediately remember a certain black tribe on this occasion. More precisely, they are considered a separate race. These are the Bushmen and Hottentots. Their women's labia hang down to their knees. They also have this wonderful thing called steatopygia. Steatopygia is fat deposits on the buttocks. There, their Bushman misses have such a butt that your eyes will pop out of your head, and maybe even further. They will jump out of their eye sockets and jump away screaming into an unknown direction. These pants are just right for these bushwomen.

This is about glamorous pussycats. And there are also glamorous cats. These are the boys (this Hebrew word suits them like no other) who wear trousers with hanging waistbands. Yes, it turns out these pants are called that. I thought it was a joke before. Fuck my entire musculoskeletal system, really! I even found a group of fans of this tune on Vkontakte
(http://vk.com/club143765) . I couldn’t resist writing on their wall about how highly I thought of their mental abilities.

Here I am standing with this friend. She is tall, about 180, with an athletic build. Well, beautiful! And he wears these pants. In general, these low-waisted pants and jeans were invented by those who either have shorter legs than their torso or whose peripheral system is larger than their brain. The Chinese woman has nothing to show. She has nothing at all, no beautiful legs, no breasts. But should our girls wear such clothes that reach to their knees? Holy shit, modern fashion is pure degenerate art.

Pants with a loose fit, or, more correctly, pants with a dropped crotch, came to us from the eastern regions. The first export of such clothing can be considered military trophies brought by the Cossacks from campaigns on the Turkish shores. The fashionable staple of that period was, of course, men's trousers. Wide trousers with frills, thanks to their convenience and practicality over time, were honored to become part of the Ukrainian national costume. In addition to the Turkish ones, gradually new immigrant things came to Europe century after century, year after year. Indian Aladdins, African-French Zouaves and Afghanis. There were, of course, products of our own production. In particular, breeches, created by a French general to disguise thigh wounds.

Men's trousers with frills - descendants of long skirts

In ancient times, pants with a low waist were a regular skirt. Yes, the ancestor of modern wide-legged pants was precisely the representative of the women's wardrobe! In Persia, a long skirt tied with a belt was used as comfortable clothing for riding. Then, for greater practicality, skirts began to be sewn along the edges, leaving openings for the legs. Later, a special cut of the so-called “shalwars” appeared, which still exists today. Thus, loose wide trousers were obtained, which became the ancestors of modern trousers, trousers and Aladdins.

Military in the world of fashion. Breeches and Zouave trousers

In the 19th century, General Auguste Gallifet did not want to put up with the then military fashion. Due to a wound in the thigh, the Marquis could no longer afford to wear tight leggings. Presenting at the ball in trousers sewn according to his own patterns, the general created a sensation among the nobility present. His new trousers were still tight at the ankles, but widened out at the hips. Soon, as Minister of War, named after the Frenchman, breeches were introduced into the army ranks. Later, when the descendants of the Gauls concentrated their interests within the African colonies, the riding breeches were replaced by a more modernized model. Named after the cavalry troops, they differed from the riding breeches by an even more extended armhole.

Clothes of Comrade Sukhov’s “beloved wife”. Women's trousers with motney

Loose-fitting pants, made from light fabrics, were very comfortable in the everyday and festive life of women in the East. Light fabrics, concealing the outlines of the oriental beauty’s figure, smoothly swayed in time with her every movement. It was comfortable to dance and travel in beautiful outfits. It was in trousers with widened armholes that the ladies from Comrade Sukhov’s harem appeared before us in the film “White Sun of the Desert.” But until about the 1980s of the last century, women's trousers with frills in most European countries were still considered more exotic clothing. Therefore, they were used mainly for theatrical and cinematic productions, performances and masquerades.

Healthy, stylish, youthful! Sweatpants with motney

For sports and outdoor activities, loose-fitting cotton pants are an excellent option. Light and comfortable, they are indispensable in oriental dance classes. In addition, they are very convenient for doing yoga and other practices that include flexibility and stretching exercises. Pants with a waistband will not restrict movement and will help you stretch well during exercise. Comfortable and stylish models will help you get the most out of your workout due to their comfortable cut and extraordinary design.

As one witty Russian says: “Girls are divided into two categories, namely, well-dressed, and well-dressed!” To belong to the first category, when choosing clothes, it is important to adhere to proportions and harmony. If you want to buy trousers with a dress, decide what things they will be organically combined with. The combination of materials, colors and styles plays an important role here.

Pants with a motney. When size matters

It's no secret that a contrasting tight top is more suitable for a loose bottom. T-shirts, tank tops, tailored turtlenecks and trousers with a sweatshirt will create a wonderful stylish pair. It is also important to avoid an abundance of different colors and shades in clothes. Accordingly, if you decide to buy trousers with a bright shade, it is better to choose a top that is neutral in color. In any case, if you consider your image to be insufficiently equipped with “highlights”, choose laconic jewelry and accessories to complement your outfit. Earrings, a pendant, bracelets, as well as a stylish bag will be the final chord of a fashionable suite.

In general, the field for fashion experiments is very vast. We wish you successful and stylish decisions!

Afghani, saruel, Aladdin, seraglio (from the word seraglio - the female part of the palace in the East), harem pants - all these are different names for the same thing - wide pants with an extremely low crotch position. Most people don’t like them; “shaky clothes” along with Uggs invariably top the list of things that “wouldn’t wear under any circumstances.” But it seems to me in vain, they are funny and comfortable.

About five years ago, I was inspired to sew myself such pants, at least for the house, but my husband, it turned out, belongs to the very category that is ugh. Luckily for me, a friend wanted them just at that time and, even if not for herself, my wish came true and the accumulated selection of materials for sewing afghanis came in handy.

Methods for cutting pants of this type can, by and large, be divided into three groups. My girlfriend and I tried them all)

Method one. Classical
In the original, afghanis are sewn from rectangular fabric, folded in a cunning way, to which cuffs and a belt are then sewn.

Examples of afghanis sewn using a classic pattern:
Looks especially impressive in striped fabric.

They say it's convenient for kids. Here is an example of children's ones made from knitwear.

My version, sewn back in 2010, looked like this:


It took 1.7 Indian cotton. The waistband and cuffs are gathered with a rubber strip. There are two patch pockets, but they are not visible due to the colors.
Pros/cons: Among the advantages of this cutting method is the ease of sewing and cutting, and it is the classic version that provides maximum freedom of movement. At least do the splits! It is comfortable to sit cross-legged in these pants and you can do yoga, even if the fabric is not elastic. Disadvantages - the maximum volume of fabric, therefore, the most controversial fit from an aesthetic point of view; very high fabric consumption.

Method two. Based on the trouser pattern
Pattern examples

Examples of shatnishki using this pattern:


The author published a detailed master class for these pants.

My version (sewn in 2013, photographed in 2014, by 2015 I was honored to publish)


The main fabric is viscose staple, the remainder is 90 cm. I cut it across, it fit into the cut without much effort, and there was also enough for pockets in the seams. Cuffs and waistband - thin viscose jersey. At the bottom of the waistband I stitched a drawstring and inserted a wide elastic band, because... the selected knitwear stretches easily and trusting it alone to hold the pants would be frivolous))
Pros/Cons: Pros - economical, good fit; disadvantages - restrictions on freedom of movement, compared to the classical method.
You won’t be able to do the splits anymore)


We are planning pants of this type for the winter from thick knitwear.

Method three. Triangle

Alas, I cannot demonstrate my own example. I sewed these for the mother of the same friend for whom I sewed the previous versions. There is only this photo (((


Viscose staple again, it drapes beautifully.
It was a gift, so there is no photo of the owner. But a friend said that my mother traveled to the south in them and actively wore them on vacation. Based on this, I think they pleased me with a gift. For the purity of the experiment, it would be necessary to sew such for Irishka to complete the study)))

And finally, a few photos of Afghani from my folder for inspiration.
Usually afghanis are sewn from thin knitwear and this, in my opinion, really doesn’t look good. As here:


It's a little cheesy...

Although there are options from a similar fabric that seem interesting to me.


The first photo fascinates me. If I ever get the chance to go on vacation in the south, I will definitely sew myself such game and tell it all so wild, but happy)

It looks unexpected in textiles and in this form can even fit into a business style, it seems to me.

Shorts




These are my ideal. Even the fabric has been purchased and is waiting in the wings.

Maxi. IMHO, amazing!


I especially like the first jumpsuit. I’ll definitely sew myself at least a sundress like this. Wonderfully stupid thing!

Well, for a snack, here’s something. The design is more like a skirt, but the silhouette is similar to a short afghani. Let it be for a collection of ideas)

Phew, completed the gestalt. The post has been mature for more than a year, and I collected the pictures back in 2010. Better late than never)

Many representatives of the fair sex consider original trousers with frills to be ridiculous and tasteless. Meanwhile, with the correct selection of other components, based on them, you can create a stylish and attractive look for any occasion.

Pants with motney - history

The question of where the trousers came from is of interest to a huge number of representatives of the fair sex. This model looks very bright and unusual, many associate it with teenage and youth fashion trends. As the story goes, this original style appeared in the late 1980s and quickly gained popularity among black teenagers. In those days, most families lived poorly, so children often had to wear clothes for their older brothers and sisters, which led to the inevitable stretching of wardrobe items.

In addition, for the same reason, boys were very often forced to wear clothes 2-3 sizes larger, which created the effect of a low elephant. Subsequently, the trousers with frills were appreciated by black guys. They could easily carry bladed weapons or firearms, which remained practically invisible for a long time.

This trend is still observed in some black areas today, which is why these trousers are especially common there. Today, unusual pants with a low waist are a favorite item of boys and girls who read rap or hip-hop texts. This product is ideal for singing and dancing that involves excessively active limb movements.

Modern women's jeans with a motney are a combination of the popular Aladdin trousers and soldier's riding pants. Stylists and designers combined these two styles in one ensemble, giving the low elephant a new life. Since that time, women's trousers with frills have become incredibly popular among young ladies, and in 2018 they won the honorary title of one of the main trends.

In the coming season, such products can be plain or printed, decorated with elements such as a vertical row of buttons, a wide or narrow belt, patch pockets, and so on. Meanwhile, feminine decorations, such as rhinestones or beads, embroidery or appliqué, are extremely rare on such models.

At the same time, they almost completely hide the hips, remaining free in this area.

In all other cases, this option can play a cruel joke on its owner and present her figure in an unfavorable light.

What to wear with trousers?

Any pants or jeans with a frill for girls do not go well with other items of clothing. Finding the right set to go with them can be quite difficult, which is why young ladies more often refuse to purchase this item of clothing than buy it. However, there are several ways to create a stylish and attractive look based on these trousers that can decorate any woman.

So, on the streets of the city and during active recreation in nature, trousers with trousers will look great in an ensemble with a simple and laconic T-shirt without decoration or an ordinary T-shirt. In cool weather, you can add a zip-up sweatshirt, a windbreaker jacket, or a not-too-formal jacket to this look to make the look more attractive.

For a romantic date, meeting with friends or a summer walk along the city embankment, this item can be combined with a blouse, shirt or tunic made of lightweight materials. In this case, the presence of decor is not only allowed, but also encouraged - embroidery or applique, interesting or ornamental, ruffles or flounces.
