Based on what was available at the specific moment, the designers developed a new model of pants for which there was no need to spend so much material. They were distinguished by the fact that they were very narrow, had a medium landing, and at the same time the legs were slightly shortened. At the beginning of the decade, such innovation was perceived by people skeptically. Women's pants-cigarettes were considered a sign of vulgarity, and men's pants were described as "hit." However, by the beginning of the 60s, fashionistas and fashionable women were able to love this invention of heavy post-war years - and since then such pants are considered a sign of style, emphasizing the taste and even the status of its owner.

This model is not complicated, it will be hard for amateurs, and even for beginners in tailoring. The main thing is to strictly follow the prescribed instructions, precisely transfer the pattern and constantly try on the thing itself during the assembly process. So you will see exactly what you need to sew, and that - to embroider due to the spare fabric inside the basting. So, let us consider the details of which the pants of the “cigarette” model are made, and also the sequence of their grinding.
Pants-cigarettes: pattern and tailoring
A thing consists of two front halves, twothe rear, which are completely identical, the two parts of the front left and right waist, back waist, facing for the pockets and the pockets themselves. Material consumption will depend on your parameters. If the girl is slim, then the standard width of 145 cm is enough, and the length will vary depending on her height. For full ladies you will have to gain two lengths, since all the details of the product may not fit in a width of 145 cm. You also need to buy a thread in the tone of the fabric, suitable for the color of the zipper and the button. When everything is ready, with chalk we transfer the pattern to the material and cut out all the details. We insert pockets into the side parts of the front and rear halves. Between the two front parts of the pants we sew a zipper and process the edges. Then we fold the front and rear halves with the front sides inward and first lay the side seams, and then the stepping. After this, the middle seams are made and all parts of the belt are sewn on top. At the very end, the bottom of the leg is trimmed with a finishing seam or non-woven tape.
