@luxire: are the new Holland & Sherry Crispaire fabric for suits or trousers?

Currently listed for pants. Would make great jackets too.

I probably shouldn't want a suit in that aubergine color as much as I do.....

If one must dress as a doctor, Who is not a terrible option. Holliday is also in the running.

Thanks for the advice. The tummy is no problem, it is very flat.

I would think that a flat tummy would be the biggest problem when converting to a popover, particularly a fitted shirt: how to get a shirt made for a 32" waist over one's shoulders and a 38+ chest.

Does anyone has ever tested the fresco cotton pants?

Texture seems nice, price is, too. But i'm wondering if it's not too light, as the weigth is 170gsm.

For what it's worth, that particular screenshot is from Jessica Jones, not Dr. Who, where he plays the antagonist.

It didn't look like a Dr. Who still, but I'm afraid that is who David Tennant "is" in my mind now.

Search back through the thread for Apple cotton fresco, there was a run of it a while back and people seemed to like it. I recall the white might be a bit transparent though.

Am wearing one this moment and have 3 pants in the fabric in different shades. Have been my go-to pants this summer.

I think the weight is just right, even for "dressy" environments.

That is a challenge often. Technically, it can be done and is often done.

But, the curve, caused by a wide chest, narrow waist and then a wide hip creates some ripples, usually seen going from waist towards chest and hips.

Just the one seam on the side is not enough for so much suppression. It can be a good idea to a patch at the side seam and use the 2 seams for dividing the curve. Plus darts at the back are helpful too.

Even more of a challenge with shirts for shorter people.

I would think the problem would be getting the popover on in the first place.
