Named Ninni Culottes

Cashmerette Springfield Floral with short Ninni

These are my 2nd Ninni Culottes from Named Clothing.

For my first pair, I added quite a few extra inches to the sideseams and also to the rise of the pants, but I made these straight from the pattern. I like both pairs, but neither have all the ‘swishy’ volume that the pattern intends, since I’m not in their size range.

Sizing Details: I’ve sewed the UK22, which is the largest size. I really only sneak into this size because of all the positive ease envisaged for the style so it’s really not a ‘size inclusive’ pattern.

Ninni Culottes plus some

These Ninni Culottes from Named Clothing got so much wear this summer while traveling in Europe.

I’m such a messy person (dropping food all the time, flopping down on grass without any regard for my pants, etc.) that I was certain that cream coloured pants were not for me!

Fortunately, I didn’t have any major disasters while travelling and I’ve managed to keep my good luck since returning home!

Sizing Details: I’ve sewed the UK22 but since I was worried about these fitting (since I’m quite a way outside the size range for named), I added around 3 inches on to each side seam, and about 5inches to the top of the pants (so they’re excellently high-waisted). It turns out these modifications weren’t necessary for me to be able to get the pants on, but do help add to the volume that other sewists have when wearing these.
