ABSTRACT

In this chapter you will learn to draft and construct a mockup of a pair of Elizabethan breeches. These breeches have a slimmer inner pant to help support the bulk of the pleated or gathered outer leg. Both layers are finished at the waist with a yoked waistband and at the knee with a knee band. A Men’s breeches pattern has been included at the end of this chapter. We will refer to the breeches as pants throughout the instructions, as this term is a bit more familiar with most readers.
