The Simple Posey - High-waisted pant + clutch bag

The Simple Posey — A small, unfussy bunch, asked for by a woman so striking that nothing about her stayed simple for long.

✿✿✿✿✿

A high-waisted, wide-leg pant in soft cotton-linen, cut for a relaxed fit and featuring an adjustable tie-waist, pockets, frayed seam lines, and printed with an oversized 19th-century botanical. The wide cuff is designed to be adaptable - hand-sew or machine baste up for a casual three-quarter length by day, or let it down for a sleeker look by night.

Each pant comes with a matching fabric clutch, a set of mending patches, and a set of slow fashion advocacy patches. The clutch and patches are cut from the same fabric, so as little fabric as possible goes to waste.  The mending patches are for the years ahead, to repair and keep wearing rather than replace.

Sizes S / M / L — see garment measurements below:

I'm wearing size MEDIUM with the cuff both up and down.  I am a standard Size 10, 176cm tall.

The bodice hugged her shapely figure, and was adorned with two rows of perfectly petite fabric covered buttons highlighting the central bodice panel. The sleeves of her bodice were gathered at the shoulder, to then gracefully taper down to narrow at her wrists and further accentuate her corseted waist. The dress was unlike any she had ever seen, and it was utterly mesmerising. Her father emerged from behind her to approach the woman, and enquire as to what services she might be seeking. She heard the woman mention “A simple posey” and wondered how someone so extraordinary could ever be satisfied with simple…"
