(Code: FWP250)

The emergence of pants as acceptable public attire for women began in the early 1930, largely due to the enormous influence of the movies and the high-profile movie stars.

Folkwear offers three history-makers: Knickers, Trousers and Shorts.

The Knickers ( c. 1931) feature a button-front fly closure and side pockets. They are pleated below the knee into shaped cuffs with button closures.

The straight silhouette of the Trousers (c. 1940) is created by a high, wide waistband, back darts and front pleats. They have a zipper closure on the left side and an on-seam pocket on the right. Trousers fall gracefully straight from the fullest part on the hip to ankle-length.

The Shorts (c. 1940) have a back zipper closure and inverted box pleats at the front and back for a smooth fit through the hip, releasing to add comfortable and flattering fullness at the legs.

Suggested fabrics: Knickers - medium to heavyweight fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool or blends in broadcloth, homespun, or twill; also napped fabrics such as corduroy and velveteen. Trousers - medium-weight, soft fabrics with drape such as wool gabardine or challis; also cotton or corduroy. Shorts - soft or slightly crisp, medium-weight fabrics such as wool challis, cotton, linen, rayon, or blends.
