Interesting culottes

At Anthro. I've not seen them in person but saw them in a catalog and thought they looked interesting, for those of you exploring the culotte look. I like the tulip hem. I suspect this is just too much pleating and volume for my shape, but if I see them in a store, I'll try them on for grins. Just thought I would share in case anyone else is interested.

I like them, which is surprising because I'm not a culotte fan. Idk about the fabric but I could see them with a sequin top or a satin blouse for a arty dress up event.

Very interesting! I would love to see pics of them in action.

These are cool. I'm hesitant to jump on the culottes trend and I think the curved hem on these may get me over the hump.

Those look interesting. That style waistband with all the pleats coming off of it tends to be disastrous on me though.

I'd love to seem them on you, Janet.

I like them. I'd probably never buy them b/c they'd be "buying for my imaginary life...."

For me, they'd be a cool addition to a dressy-capsule, and then I'd wear them maybe once or twice a year

Seriously want! I'd like to make some. I would try them on first, though. They might not be as flattering as I'd like. But they're a lot like a midi skirt, as a profile. Thanks for the idea, Janet.

They are great aren't they?. I could see quite a few of our Fabbers rock those.

Diane G, they would go with your lace-up booties (if you got them).

Yeah, my boots are on order. I bet like you, FC, I could make a pair of culottes like that

I noticed the description says "side zip," and they clearly have a zipper in the back. (I'm trying to figure out where the seams are--doesn't look like there is an outer side seam).

Every time I click on the picture I'm taken to the Euro site and they aren't on there. Tried to click on .com and still take to Euro one :(, so I can only go on the thumbnail above. I can just see the wrap details at the front.

That is weird that it says "side zip."

Diane, I took some screen shots for you that show the detail better, from the "sand" color. I wonder if a version could be done without so many pleats.

Ooh, thanks Janet! With the deep contoured waistband, that would help to minimise the fullness from the pleats, but it could be done with less fullness too and especially in a fabric that drapes well. They're lovely, quite dressy I think.

I love these! Very cool. But yeah, imaginary life... not that I haven't bought for that before...

Interesting though, when I zoom in on the black ones, it doesn't appear to have a back zip. Nor even a back seam on the waistband.

Weirdly my reaction is those aren't culottoes because they don't really flare at the bottom. But I hope you or someone tries them whatever they are!

Really interesting. They feel too complex for my style preference though so I hope somebody else will get them and model here.

Janet, I thought you'd said you don't do pleats - but these are pretty fun although quite boho. Give them a try!
