Sarouelles

Misses 6-18; Men's 32-44

Three comfortable and timeless pants designs from Turkey, Africa, and India, with elastic or drawstring waist and ankle variations. Full and flowing easy-sew styles are perfect for casual wear, yoga, belly dancing, or costuming. Historical lore and traditional embroidery designs included.

Suggested fabrics: The Turkish pants look best in lightweight sumptuous fabrics with drape, such as rayon challis, chiffon, or gauze. For African and Indian pants, choose medium-weight fabrics such as cotton, silk, rayon, wool, or blends.
