For the next part of the steampunk outfit I made up some off-white cotton into lace trimmed wide leg trousers.
The idea is I could wear these as sort of bloomers peeking out from my outfit for the steampunk wedding, but then wear them afterwards as PJ pants.
I cut a length 2 inches longer than the shorter length.
I have a bag full of vintage lace someone gave me, which mostly seems to have been rescued off garments and tablecloths. This was the best match in colour and length, but was very damaged along one edge. I overlocked that edge, sewed the lace to the hem right sides together then flipped the overlocked portion underneath and topstitched.
If the pant ends up being too long I'll add a horizontal tuck, as I want the lace to just show a little.
