What Fabric to Choose for Pants or Shorts?

A fluid wide pant and a fitted short do not require the same properties. The pattern specifies the expected hold and stretch: use these indications to compare fabrics. Opacity is also important in areas that may be under tension.

Choosing Between Loose and Fitted Cuts

For a fluid pant, compare the drape and the fabric's ability to follow the legs without being too stiff. A more structured cut may require more hold. If the model uses stretch, check the direction and rate of stretch, as well as the recovery.

Calculating the Fabric with All Pieces

The yardage depends on size, length, width of the legs, and fabric width. Add the waistband, pockets, facings, and any hems to the placement plan. A directional pattern may prevent flipping pieces and increase the necessary length.

What Fabric to Use for a Fluid Pant That Is Not Transparent?

Cross the criteria of fluidity and opacity, then check the fabric's appearance in light. A dark color and the fiber name are not enough to guarantee adequate coverage for the garment.
